Potato Gratin

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic
• 1 kg firm boiling potatoes
• 2 tbsp chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme)
• 0.5 l milk
• 50 g crème double
• whipped cream (optional)
• Salt
• ground pepper
• 150 g grated Gruyère cheese

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the garlic clove. Rub baking dishes with the garlic and then butter them. Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, drain and let dry well. Layer potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle herbs over the middle of the gratin and continue layering. Whisk together milk, cheese, and crème double; season with salt and pepper and pour over the potatoes. The potatoes should be almost covered; you may add a little more cream if desired.
