Method

Prep 20 min · cook 75 min
  1. Heat the oven to 160 °C. Rub a gratin dish with a cut garlic clove and then the butter.
  2. Peel the potatoes and slice them 3 mm thick. Do not rinse them: their starch thickens the cream.
  3. Bring the milk to a simmer with the crushed garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg, add the potatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring gently.
  4. Tip into the dish, pour over the cream and level the top.
  5. Bake for 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
