Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 leeks, finely sliced
250ml whole milk
100ml double cream
3 tbsp Maille Dijon Mustard
Few sprigs thyme, leaves only
600g sweet potato, skins scrubbed then sliced into 0.3cm coins
4 essential Waitrose Lamb Steaks
300g spring greens (About 300g)

Method

Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large saucepan and add the leeks, cover and sweat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft. Pour in the milk and cream, add the mustard, thyme leaves and sweet potatoes, then stir to coat. Season and heat until just steaming; simmer for 5 minutes.
Tip the potato mixture into a small ovenproof dish (about 1-1.5 litres in volume) and arrange in even layers. Bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through.
Just before the potatoes are ready, cook the lamb. Heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Season the steaks and fry for 3 minutes on each side, ensuring the surfaces of the meat are fully cooked. Rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve with the dauphinoise and steamed spring greens.
