Potato Gratin

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the garlic clove. Rub it into baking dishes.

2. 2.

   Wash, peel and slice the potatoes very thin or use a mandoline. Layer them evenly 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 (356 °F) on both lower and upper heat for about 40–50 minutes until golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide through easily when the potatoes are cooked.
