February 14, 2023
: 3 to 4
: Easy
Ingredients
- 300ml double cream
- 300ml milk
- 3 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 medium-large Maris Piper or English Red potatoes, finely sliced (2-3mm)
- 50g parmesan or gruyere cheese, grated (optional)
- Pinch of white pepper
- Pinch of salt
Directions
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 190C (170C fan). -
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the cream, milk, garlic cloves, bay leaf, white pepper and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer. -
Step 3
Add the sliced potatoes and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. -
Step 4
Lift the potatoes out with a slotted spoon and layer them into a shallow ovenproof dish about 5cm deep. -
Step 5
Pour the garlic-infused cream over the potatoes, discarding the garlic cloves. The liquid should seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on top. -
Step 6
Scatter with cheese, if using, and bake for 30 minutes until the potatoes are soft and the top is golden. Increase the heat for 5 minutes if more browning is needed.
