How to Cook for the Best Texture
For best results, cook from frozen and place the dish on a preheated tray so the base warms quickly and the edges turn crisp. This helps the creamy potato gratin finish with a soft centre and a more satisfying golden top.
Oven Method
Bake at 220ºC Fan / 425°F / Gas Mark 9 for 20-25 minutes. The dish is ready when it is piping hot, bubbling at the edges, and evenly browned on top.

Cook at 180°C for 18-20 minutes on baking paper. Turn once during cooking if needed for more even colour. Timing based on a Philips Airfryer XL.
