; cut or sliced up
3 Floury potatoes; peeled and
thinly
; cut or sliced up
2 ounce Gruyere cheese; grated
225 g Panchetta; with the rind and
; thinly cut or sliced up , or
; smoked streaky
; bacon
150 ml Double cream
2 ounce Butter
1 teaspoon Freshly chopped thyme; (1 to
2)
8 Anchovies; (canned) drained
and
; halved lengthways
1 Garlic clove; peeled and
finely
; chopped
1 Egg; beaten

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6. Rub a pie dish or small ovenproof
saucepan with a small knob of butter.

Layer with the bacon or panchetta ensuring there are no gaps. Allow end to
hang over the sides of the pan.

Pat dry the potatoes on kitchen paper and layer One half the potatoes in the
dish with a knob of butter, a sprinkle of black pepper, thyme, onion,
anchovies and a little cheese.

Press down and repeat, adding a sprinkle of garlic to the last layer. In a
separate bowl beat an egg with the cream and pour over the potato mixture,
piercing the potatoes every so often with a fork to allow the cream and egg
to seep through to the base.

Place the remaining bacon/panchetta over the top and bring the sides up and
over the top. Press down and bake in the oven for 4045 minutes.

To check when it is cooked, pierce the potatoes with a knife and see if
they are soft throughout. Remove from the oven and carefully drain off as
much of the fat as possible.

Loosen the sides with a thin bladed knife and turn out. Allow to cool
slightly. Serve with a salad.
