Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the cream, milk and garlic into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Slice the potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream 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.
  2. 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) - just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface. Scatter over the cheese, if using, then bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned - increase the heat for 5 mins if not brown enough.

    Absolutely lovely recipe, I sliced the potatoes in the food processor so they were nice and thin and layered up perfectly. So easy. I will definitely make this recipe again.

    We loved this recipe even when we tweaked it due to no cream in house! We did have cream cheese so added about 50g to milk instead of cream and then warmed them so the cream cheese melted and thickened the milk slightly. Second time used Boursin poivre instead of Philly and that also worked well. Quickly fried a sliced onion with third of a crumbled chicken stock cube for added flavour and put layers of that between the potato slices. Cheddar instead of gruyere on top. Yum! Made twice in a week and now a fave dish.

    PS also finely chopped garlic and left it in the milk for added flavour as others suggested. Would be good with some chopped bacon in amongst the layers too for even more yumminess!
