Instructions
Select your dish, we use a fairly small one as shown which is perfect for a main meal or for a side dish with some supper left over. Grease the dish with butter. Slice your spuds thinly trying vainly not to remove the tips of your fingers and lay out in a single layer in the dish covering the bottom.

Sprinkle flour over the spud layer and season with salt and pepper. Lay out another layer of spuds, flour and add whatever you fancy. If adding leftovers for a main dish distribute over the flour with any fingers tips you have lying around, add a bit of cheese and cover again with spuds. Continue building layers with spuds, flour and seasoning adding cheese, boiled egg slices whenever you fancy until you get to about 2cms from the top. If you run out of spuds peel and slice another one, you can also press down a bit as well so you can cram more in.

The final layer of spuds should not be floured. Dot with butter, sprinkle a few dried herbs on top and cover with cheese.

Carefully pour milk into the dish at a corner until it's level with the surface as shown. Heat the oven to 200c, place the dish on a tray to catch any spills and plonk it in the oven for an hour. Be warned, if you don't put something underneath, the boiling milk will make a real mess of the oven and K will castrate you. After an hour remove from the oven and let rest for 5 mins, then hack into lumps and scoff it down as quick as you safely can, use wine to keep the roof of your mouth cool.
