- What kind of peas should I use?
- Young, frozen garden peas are best because they are sweet and brightly coloured. Tinned peas are too soft and pale for this.
Potato bake with creamy green pea sauce
We're breaking with tradition: instead of sour cream, a vibrant green, sweetish green pea cream embraces the potato slices. This dish is not only visually exciting with the play of green and yellow layers, but also brings a surprising harmony in flavour: the softness of coconut cream and the freshness of peas meet the homeliness of roasted potatoes.

Instructions
1
✓
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water until soft. Cool completely, then peel and slice into rounds.
Tip: Due to starch 'retrogradation', cooled potato is firmer, so it slices beautifully and doesn't break.
2
✓
Boil the peas for 3-4 minutes in hot water, then drain.
Tip: Do not overcook, so they keep their beautiful green colour.
3
✓
Place the peas, coconut cream, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend into a completely smooth, vibrantly green cream.
Tip: The fat content of the coconut cream makes the emulsion creamy.
4
✓
Grease an ovenproof dish with oil. Layer the potatoes, spread with pea cream, and sprinkle with a little cheese. Continue layering.
5
✓
Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs, then drizzle with a little oil.
Tip: The combination of crumbs and oil forms a crispy crust.
6
✓
Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Rest before serving, then sprinkle with parsley.
