Method
- Put the stock in a large saucepan with half the saffron. Bring to the boil, then add the potatoes; boil for 5 mins. Drain over a bowl, reserving the stock. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200 ̊C, fan 180 ̊C.
- Grease a 2-3ltr baking dish with the oil. Mix 150ml of the reserved stock with the cream and the remaining saffron; season.
- Layer a quarter of the potatoes in the baking dish, then sprinkle over a third of the red onion and red pepper and a quarter of the cheese, olives and oregano. Repeat twice, then finish with a final layer of potatoes, olives and cheese. Pour over the creamy stock, then top with a scattering of oregano and black pepper. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 20 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 25-30 mins or until the top is golden and crisp. Leave to stand for 5-10 mins before serving. Top with the basil leaves.
