Preparation and cooking times

Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and season 4 individual gratin or small baking dishes. Put the cream, milk, garlic and herbs in a pan and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Fish out the herbs and garlic and season well.
  2. Layer up the potatoes in the gratin dishes. It doesn't matter how randomly you layer your potatoes as long as the top layer is neat and even. Spoon over the cream mix, scattering the cheeses as you go. Finish with a little parmesan. Bake for 1-1 1/4 hours or until the tops are golden and bubbling and the potatoes are tender.

    This was awful. The potatoes were still raw after an hour and a half and everyone left it on their plates.

    I love this recipe but i have to say i have changed it quite a bit! as only need it to feed my family of three i have put 200ml of milk (semi) and 200ml of single cream (healthier version) bit of mixed herbs and three garlic cloves in a pan and heat to boiling. I always used my slicer on food processor to slice the potaoes as does them thinner than i can, slice up 700g and layer them in a greased dish i use my pyrex casserole dish layer with any mature cheese i have in and pour over cream/milk and then put in oven for 1&1/4 hours of gas mark 4. It is gorgeous!!!! YUMMY
