Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC. Prepare a 20cm round casserole dish.
- Toss the potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a circular pattern covering the bottom and sides of the dish. The slices should extend over the rim by about 3cm as they will shrink in the oven.
- Place the dish on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160ºC.
- Whisk the eggs until smooth. Whisk in milk, sweetcorn, flour and ¾ tsp salt, ensuring it is all well combined.
- Pour egg mixture into the crust, filling just below the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until the centre is just set. If the edges of the crust get too dark, cover with foil and continue baking.
- Cool for 1 hour, then serve at room temperature or chilled.
Budget tip: Swap out the milk for amasi, if that’s what you have in the fridge.
