"Sophisticated French dish - a delicate gratin, which you can eat as a main course or serve as a side dish to grilled meat"

Ingredients

  • milk - 12 fl oz (350 ml)
  • cooking cream - 12 fl oz (350 ml)
  • potatoes - about 2.6 lb (1.2 kg)
  • nutmeg - 1/4 tsp. (finely grated)
  • garlic - 1 clove (pressed)
  • hard white cheese - about 1.8 oz (50 g) just for sprinkling
  • salt - 1 tsp.
  • black pepper - 1 tsp. (freshly ground)
measures

How to make

Oven - 360°F (180°C); deep baking pan, greased.

Pour the milk, salt and cream into a pot and add the pressed garlic.

Leave it on a moderately heated hob to boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and run each potato through a mandoline grater to make chips.

The potatoes are added to the milk and cream, they are gently stirred and are left to boil for exactly 8 minutes. Immediately remove them from the heat and with a slotted spoon arrange as much as possible in the baking pan.

They are covered with the remaining sauce. You can also stack them with a fork, but very carefully, so they don't break. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

The gratin is baked at 360°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes, or until they aquire a nice golden color.

The French Gratin with Cheese and Cream is very tasty!

Note: This French gratin can be served as a side dish to a main course or on its own.

If desired, additives can be added to it, such as baked bacon, finely chopped spring onions, or others of choice. I chose to make it just with cream, milk and hard Swiss cheese.

The baking pan, in which it will be baked, must necessarily be deeper than ordinary ones, because when baking, the milk and cream boil from the high temperature.
