Ingredients

  • Kerrygold Butter
  • 1.2 kg waxy potatoes
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • (herb) salt
  • nutmeg
  • 250 ml Whipping Cream
  • 250 ml whole milk (3.8% fat)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable broth
  • Pepper
  • 100 g Kerrygold Cheddar (grated)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat oven to 180°C fan or conventional heat. Grease a gratin dish with butter.

  2. 2.

    Peel potatoes and slice thinly or shave. Peel garlic and press.

  3. 3.

    Layer half the potato slices in the dish, seasoning with herb salt and freshly grated nutmeg; then layer the remaining potatoes on top.

  4. 4.

    Whisk cream, milk, garlic, and vegetable broth together in a saucepan. Season well with herb salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  5. 5.

    Pour the mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle butter flakes over the gratin, then evenly scatter cheese on top. (Tip: freeze butter for the flakes beforehand; they spread nicely over the gratin.)

  6. 6.

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour until the potatoes are tender. If the surface browns too much, cover with foil. Enjoy.
