Categories     Potato

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs waxy potatoes
1/2 pint milk
salt and pepper
grated nutmeg
3 ounces butter
1/2 pint double cream
1 garlic clove
5 ounces grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Peel the potatoes, wipe clean with a damp cloth and cut them into thin slices.
  • Do not wash or soak them in water as this would remove the starch essential to the correct consistency of the dish.
  • Pour the milk into a large saucepan, season with salt, freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to taste and add the butter cut into small pieces.
  • Place over a medium heat, beat with a birch (wire) whisk and bring slowly to boiling point, add the potatoes and the cream gradually, reduce the heat and simmer very slowly for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Rub a large gratin dish with the cut clove of garlic, butter it generously and pour in the potato mixture.
  • Scatter the cheese on top and bake very slowly for 1 1/2 hours until a crisp brown crust has formed.
  • Serve immediately.

This dish was a disappointment. The potatoes were dry and the cheese sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The potatoes were a little undercooked for my taste, but the cheese sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the potatoes for a few minutes longer.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it with a lighter cheese next time.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The potatoes are so creamy and the cheese sauce is perfect. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great! The potatoes were so creamy and the cheese sauce was perfect.
