Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5.333 cups waxy potatoes
  • 1.667 cups cream
  • 1 clove garlic cloves
  • 2 Tbsps Crème fraiche
  • salt
  • freshly ground peppers
  • Nutmeg (freshly grated)
  • 0.5 cup grated Cheese (e. g. Gruyère, Emmental)

Instruction

  • Peel the garlic. Rub the baking dishes with the garlic.
  • Wash, peel and thinly slice the potatoes, using a mandolin vegetable slicer if available. Then arrange in the dishes in even, overlapping layers. Mix the cream, grated cheese and creme fraiche, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and pour over the potatoes. The potatoes should be barely covered, use more or less cream as necessary.
  • Bake in a preheated oven (180°C with top and bottom heat) for about 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Test with a fork to see if the potatoes are done: if the fork can be inserted and pulled out again easily the potatoes are cooked. Turn on the grill for the last 10 minutes to brown the top layer of potatoes.
