800g British Regal White Potatoes, rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 clove/s garlic, finely sliced
300g Savoy cabbage, shredded (about ½ cabbage)
100g Cooks' Ingredients Pulled Ham Hock
300ml double cream
300ml whole milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Nutmeg, for grating
100g mature cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
30g panko breadcrumbs

Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible (use a mandolin if you have one).
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6.
Tip the sliced potatoes into the pan, add a pinch more salt and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and ham, then add the cream, milk, mustard and a good grating of nutmeg. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, then add two thirds of the cheese and stir until melted. Take off the heat; season.
Transfer everything to a wide, shallow 1.5-2 litre baking dish. Mix the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs (with some chopped fresh or dried herbs, if liked), then sprinkle over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Cook’s tip

Leftover pulled ham hock? Slowly cooked for 10 hours, pulled ham hock is great for adding protein and extra flavour to lentil or pea soups, mixing into potato hash or stirring into a chicken pie filling.
