Instructions
Roast Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 220 C.
Toss the sliced potatoes in olive oil, cumin powder, chilli powder, salt and pepper.
Spread in a single layer on a baking tray and roast the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and crispy golden. You will have to turn them over once while they are baking.
Cheese Sauce
Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy bottom pan over medium heat. Add flour and seasonings. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbling. Lower the heat and slowly add the milk, whisking constantly till the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Mix in the cheese. Taste and adjust for seasonings.
Assembly
Preheat your oven to 220 C. Keep an ovenproof baking dish ready.
Start with the layering - potatoes, veggies, olives, cheese sauce. Keep layering till all ingredients are used up. Finish off the top layer with cheese sauce.
Bake for 15-20 minutes till the cheese sauce is bubbling.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro/coriander. Serve warm. Enjoy!
