Directions

Preheat the oven to 190c/375f/gas 5.

Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot and pass them through a fine blade of a mouli-legume (or mash very, very thoroughly). Beat in the butter and cream, then sprinkle in the flour. Beat hard to mix thoroughly.

Drain the pears well and add those too, and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Grease a 30x30cm baking tray and spread the mixture out thinly in it - it should be no more than 1cm thick at most. Scatter over the pieces of speck or bacon. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until browned and crisp on top. Cut into large squares and eat hot or warm.
