A hot gratin of thinly sliced potatoes in cream and milk with a hint of garlic, baked and served in the same dish goes well with any roast. Ingredients:
2 lbs potatoes |
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly crushed |
3 ounces butter |
10 fluid ounces whole milk |
10 fluid ounces double cream |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 pinch grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes and slice thinly-use a mandolin slicer for speed.
2. Don't rinse them or you'll wash off the starch that makes them creamy.
3. Heat the oven to 350*F.
4. Select a large baking dish, which the potatoes will also be served in.
5. Rub the garlic round the inside of the baking dish.
6. Generously grease the dish with about 1 oz of the butter.
7. Put the milk, cream, remaining butter, seasoning and nutmeg into a large pan.
8. Bring to a simmer, add the potato slices and heat gently, bringing the contents back to a simmer.
9. Turn the potato mixture into the baking dish and spread the slices evenly.
10. Place in the oven and bake for 1- 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender and browned on the surface.
