Prep Time: 20 mins Cooking Time: 40 mins Difficulty: Easy Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 500ml double cream
- 500ml milk
- 3 garlic cloves
- 8 large potatoes (King Edward/Maris Piper)
- 100g of Gruyère cheese
Method
Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
Tip the double cream, and milk in to a large saucepan and add the garlic cloves. Then bring it to a simmer.
Finely slice the potatoes, about 3-4mm, then add them to the pan and simmer for 3 mins until just cooked.
Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan and add some salt and pepper.
Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow ovenproof dish so that they are about 5cm in depth.
Pour over the garlic infused cream (discarding the garlic). – Put in just enough cream for it to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.
Scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese and bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned. If the potatoes are not brown enough, increase the heat for another 5 mins
