Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the heavy cream, thyme, bay leaves, garlic and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the spring onion whites and simmer until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Stir in about half of the spring onion greens.
- Spread the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour the cream mixture over the top and gently stir, pressing and submerging the potatoes to make an even layer. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender and the cream is bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Uncover the potatoes and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onion greens just before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Bake the potatoes for 2 hrs until soft to the middle (alongside the pork is fine).
- Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, most of the spring onions, thyme and plenty of seasoning in a slightly-too-small roasting tin. Use the back of a fish slice or similar to squash the potatoes into a flat-ish compact cake. Chill until ready to finish, for up to a day.
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 (when the pork comes out). Drizzle the spuds with a little more oil and roast for 30-40 mins until golden and crisp. Mix the salad cream and soured cream, drizzle over, then scatter with remaining spring onions and more seasoning, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like red potatoes or fingerling potatoes hold their shape better during cooking, making them ideal for this recipe.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Parboil the potatoes: Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting helps them cook more evenly.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Add the spring onions towards the end of roasting: This will prevent them from burning.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Chopped parsley or cilantro adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
