Potato Gratin

Ingredients

  • 1.25 kg potatoes a waxy variety, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 30 grams Anchor Butter melted
  • ¾ cup Anchor Cream
  • ¾ cup Anchor milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 ½ cups grated cheese I used tasty, other cheeses I like are gruyere or Colby
  • ½ teaspoon Thyme leaves optional. – see notes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan bake
  2. Take your serving dish and brush a little butter over the bottom.
  3. Take a jug and add the milk, cream, butter and garlic.
  4. Spread 1/3 of the potatoes over the bottom of the dish, I like to use all the odds and ends of the potato slices on the bottom and save the pretty ones for the top!
  5. Pour over 1/3 of the cream mixture, season the potatoes with salt and pepper and scatter with 1/3 of the cheese.
  6. Repeat, except for the last layer leave off the cheese, we will add this later.
  7. Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake in the oven for 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until golden. You can also swith th oven to grill to get the top all bubbling and golden too.
  8. Remove and scatter with thyme, leave to sit for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
  9. Happy Cooking xx Jana

Recipe Notes

I have used a 6 cup capacity serving dish
You can also add thyme leaves between the layers of potatoes which is lovely, however I usually just scatter them over the top so any picky children can easily remove them.
