Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients
  

Cream Mixture

  • 1.5 cups cream full fat
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 30 g unsalted butter melted

Potatoes

  • 1.25 kg starchy potatoes Russet or Sebago
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Cheese

  • 2.5 cups gruyere cheese freshly grated
  • 2 teaspoon thyme leaves fresh (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place butter, cream and garlic in a jug. Mix until combined.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (both fan and standard ovens).
  • Peel the potatoes and slice them ⅛"/3 mm thick.

Layering

  • Spread ⅓ of the potatoes in a baking dish, pour over ⅓ of the Cream Mixture, scatter with ⅓ of the salt, pepper and thyme. Sprinkle with ¾ cups cheese.
  • Repeat for the 2nd and 3rd layer, but do not finish with cheese on the top layer.

Baking

  • Cover with lid or foil, and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the potatoes in the middle are soft.
  • Remove foil, top with cheese, and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Stand 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Gruyere is the best cheese for flavor and browning. Use freshly grated cheese for better melting quality.
