Potato Gratin

Ingredients

• 400 g waxy potatoes
• 400 g red potatoes (e.g., Red Emma)
• 1 Garlic clove
• 1 Tbsp soft butter
• 300 ml whipping cream
• 2 tbsp freshly chopped sage
• 80 g grated cheese (e.g., Emmental)
• Salt
• nutmeg
• Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

2. 2.

   Peel the potatoes and slice thinly or shave. Halve the garlic clove and rub the cut surfaces around the baking dish. Brush with soft butter. Layer the potato slices in a brick‑wall pattern, alternating rows. Mix the cream with sage and cheese, then season heavily with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the potatoes so they are just covered.

3. 3.

   Bake the gratin in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes until golden brown. Test with a fork; if it slides in easily, the potatoes are cooked.
