Luxe potato skin gratin
I save all my potato peelings for moments like this. As I cook through the week, I put the peelings in the freezer so I can make dishes using ingredients that would otherwise be thrown out or composted. This recipe makes a gratin like you would make with potato slices, but I like it better this way because the skins have more texture, plus you still get that delicious, creamy goodness of a good old gratin.

Lay the potato skins out on a clean tea towel and pat with kitchen paper to thoroughly dry them.

Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the garlic, onion powder and black pepper. Bring to the boil and then take off the heat.

Add the potato skins to the milk mixture, then the cream. Season well with salt and stir together. Transfer to the roasting tin. Leave to sit for 10 minutes for the liquid to settle. Sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Leave to rest for at least 30 minutes before eating. This allows enough time for the cream to absorb into the potato skins and for everything to thicken up.
