Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 4 P

1 kg waxy potatoes
1 tbsp butter
300 ml milk
500 ml cream
Pepper
Salt
Nutmeg
4 cloves of garlic
Thyme / bay leaf
150 g grated cheese

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Bring the milk and cream to a boil together with thyme, bay leaf, pepper, salt, nutmeg, and grated garlic. Then strain everything so that you only have flavored cream left.

Peel the potatoes and wash them well. Pat them dry and slice them into very thin rounds.

Butter your baking dish and place the potatoes in it.

Pour the flavored cream over until all the potatoes are submerged and cover with grated cheese.

Let it bake for 30-40 minutes in the oven until it looks nice and golden brown. Check for doneness and poke it with a skewer. When the gratin is soft, take it out of the oven.
