Potato dishes such as this gratin take a long time to cook to a tender result, but if you have a microwave combination oven, by adding just a small amount of microwave you can almost halve the cooking time while still achieving a result as good as one cooked in a regular oven.
If you do not have a Microwave combination oven, cook this gratin at 200C for 45- 50 minutes .
METHOD
- In shallow microwave and oven proof dish drizzle the olive oil and spread to coat the base and sides.
- Stack potatoes into dish and intersperce regularly with slices of onion.

- Top with parmesan
- Bake in oven with the following settings
- Hot Air+ MW 200C 300- 400W 15 minutes
- Then change setting to FanGrill Fan Bake+ MW 250C 180- 200W and cook for a further 10 minutes
- If fork easily pieces potato it is ready, if it is still firm then finish with Hot Air+ MW 200C 300-360W 5 minutes.
