A gratin is classic dinner party stuff and minimal work once it’s in the oven. You might like to serve the potatoes with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad.

Ingredients

1.5 kg potatoes (Desiree or Bintje)
Butter for cooking
185 ml (3/4 cup) cream
185 ml (3/4 cup) milk
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nutmeg

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Peel the potatoes and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Cook for 5 minutes; you don’t want the potatoes to be completely cooked.

Drain the potatoes well, then return them to the saucepan. Place the saucepan over a low heat and warm the potatoes for 1–2 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to evaporate excess moisture.

Butter an ovenproof dish, one that you can serve at the table. Slice the potatoes into 5 mm thick slices and arrange in the buttered dish. Mix the cream and milk together and pour over the potatoes. Scatter garlic slices over, season with salt and pepper and grate fresh nutmeg over. Cover with foil.

Cook in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and return the dish to the oven for a further 10 minutes so the potatoes can brown a little.

Chopping garlic

Squash the unpeeled garlic using the flat side of a large knife to loosen the skin and help release the flavour and oils. Peel the garlic and then roughly chop. All of the pieces need to be about the same size to ensure consistency while cooking.
