Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 300 g Double Cream
  • 60 ml Milk
  • 2 large cloves Garlic sliced finely or crushed
  • 1 ½ KG Potatoes Peeled and sliced thinly
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 450 g Cheese Grated( Any cheese), see notes

Instructions
 

  • Grease a deep oven dish/tray.
  • Simmer Cream, Milk and Garlic in a pan over medium low. Add the Potatoes, season and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Layer potatoes in the buttered dish, adding cheese between the layers making sure you leave some for the top.
  • Pour over the cream mixture.
  • Season, cover with foil and bake at 190 C/GM5 for 35 minutes and 40 minutes at 200 C/GM6.
  • Remove foil and add another layer of cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn up the heat if it the cheese isn't colouring.

Notes

Cheese - Adding Cheese is optional. The best cheese to use is Gruyere which adds a salty hit. You can also add Parmesan, Cheddar or Mozzarella.
Garlic - Before crushing the garlic, you can slice it and rub it over the sides and the bottom of the dish. 
PotatoesFor best results, use King Edward or Maris Piper. However, I have used a wide variety of potatoes over the years and they have all worked wonderfully. 
StorageThese keep well in an airtight container for 3 - 4 days and can be made ahead and reheated when needed.
Dish size - I use a 9 x 13 inch dish in this recipe.
