Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delicious, a huge hit. Followed the recipe mostly as written, subbing maybe a quarter of the cream for milk. I also messed up on my pans and just baked it all in the dutch oven I simmered the potatoes in to no noticeable detriment. "8 potatoes" is vague and not helpful - I used 6 large ones, And should have weighed them. Use your judgement.

    The addition of the herbs gives the cream a nice flavour but I have to say this isn't my favourite variant. I don't think all the cream is necessary, I often cut with a bit of milk and have had no ill effects. For me however this dish is missing the breadcrumbs in the topping. I ended up adding some to ming and dotted with a bit of butter, much better that way.
