I'm going to try potatoes dauphinoise again, this time I've found a recipe where you parboil the spuds in cream first then it only needs 20 mins in the oven. Previous attempts have resulted in half cooked potatoes even after hours in the oven. It's one of my fave spud dishes so I will cross my fingers....
Tonight we are on my lovely OH's homemade rolls with smoked, peppered mackerel in a light batter with tartare sauce. Accompanied by OH's onions rings and chunky chips!
Tomorrow is my turn to cook so we are on beef, guinness and onion stew to be served with mustard mash! Lunch will be soup and more of OH's rolls with garlic sausage and relish.

It worked and was oh so yummy but very fattening given it is basically spuds, cream, butter and cheese!!
Bought a big bag of monkey nuts which are starting to soften. Do not like to throw anything away so I have kept back some for planting and used the rest in a crushed peanut, potato, onion and parsley soup. Very thick, tasty and filling
