Mock Goose

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the potatoes, apples, onions, cheese and sage together, seasoning with salt and pepper until they are well mixed.

Turn the mixture into a large buttered ovenproof dish and cover with a lid of buttered foil or greaseproof paper. Bake for about 30 minutes until the fruit and vegetables are really tender.

Meanwhile mix together the topping ingredients (stuffing mix and grated cheese). At the end of the cooking time uncover the dish, sprinkle the topping liberally over the dish and return to the oven, raising the temperature to 475 degrees F for 10 more minutes or until just nicely browned.

Serve with a mixed green salad and plenty of crusty, wholemeal bread.
