The Lord of the Rings and X-Men star has repeatedly talked about his favorite comfort food, including during a 2015 Reddit Ask Me Anything session. The dish doesn’t have a special name (that McKellen disclosed, at least) and the origins of the recipe are rather blurry. But the iconic British screen and stage actor seems very confident of its tastiness.

The dish is also super simple to prepare. Just thinly slice a few ingredients, layer them in a dish, toss them in the oven to bake, and move on. You can whip up a protein and other sides while it cooks or read a good book.

How to Make Ian McKellen’s Favorite Comfort Food
Start by thinly slicing potatoes and onions, then set them aside. Grate some cheddar cheese (McKellen recommends that it be “strong," or what Americans know as sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese) and put that in its own pile. Finally, slice up some small tomatoes.
Based on McKellen's description of the dish, he's a cook who likes to wing things in the kitchen, so feel free to use the type of potato and onion that you prefer, and switch up the cheese as you'd like. Pretty much any combination of potatoes, onions, tomatoes and cheese is going to be tasty. Serve the dish as a side with chicken, steak, pork chops or lamb or just have it as-is. Either way, it sounds amazing.
