For an attractive variation I arranged the butternut and potato slices in alternate circles to resemble a rose appearance in an ovenproof dish.
This is quite finicky to do but the end result does look attractive.
It's better to do for a smaller number as this is more manageable. You can also use a mixture of half milk, half cream if you find cream too rich.
