Ingredients
- 600g frozen roast potatoes
- 2 large leeks, cut into 2cm rounds

as 8 and arrange the potatoes in a roasting tin. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender in the middle. Meanwhile, put the leeks and most of the thyme sprigs on a separate baking tray, drizzle with the oil and season. Roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until tender.
When the veg is cooked, preheat the grill to medium. Using a knife and fork, roughly chop the potatoes and arrange in a 1.5L gratin dish (about 20x30cm) with the leeks. Discard the thyme stalks, then season. Crumble over half the Stilton, then pour over the cream. Season again, if needed, crumble over the remaining cheese, then scatter over the lemon and pepper crust.
Grill for 8-10 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then scatter with more thyme leaves and serve.
