Potato Gratin

Ingredients

• 800 g waxy potatoes
• 400 ml whipping cream
• 1 Garlic clove
• 2 tbsp crème fraîche
• Salt
• Pepper (freshly ground)
• Nutmeg (freshly grated)
• 60 g shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyère, Emmental)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the garlic clove. Rub it into small baking dishes.

2. 2.

   Wash, peel and slice the potatoes thinly or into wedges. Layer them evenly in a fan shape in the dish. Mix cream, cheese and crème fraîche; season with salt, nutmeg and pepper, then pour over the potatoes so they are almost covered. Adjust the amount of cream if needed.

3. 3.

   Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 35–45 minutes until golden brown. Test with a fork: it should slip out easily when the potatoes are done. During the last 10 minutes, turn on the grill to crisp the top layer.
