👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients
✅ Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan) and grease a large baking dish with butter.
✅ Peel & slice potatoes thinly (around the thickness of a knife).
✅ Place potato slices in a bowl of water and soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
✅ Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Mixture
✅ In a bowl, mix together:
- Grated garlic
- Single cream
- Melted butter
- Pepper & nutmeg
3️⃣ Assemble the Layers
✅ Arrange a layer of potatoes at the bottom of the dish.
✅ Season with salt, then pour some of the cream mixture over the top.
✅ Sprinkle grated cheese evenly.
✅ Repeat this process 4-5 times, ensuring an even distribution.
✅ Save some cheese for the final topping.
4️⃣ Bake to Perfection
✅ Cover the dish with tinfoil and bake for 45 minutes until potatoes are tender.
✅ Remove foil, add remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
✅ Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
✅ Pair with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or enjoy as a standalone dish!
💡 Pro Tips & Variations
✔️ For extra richness: Swap single cream for double cream.
✔️ For a crispy top: Add breadcrumbs or Parmesan before the final bake.
✔️ For a deeper flavor: Use a mix of Gruyère & Cheddar for a more intense cheesy taste.
✔️ For a garlicky boost: Rub the baking dish with a halved garlic clove before layering.
