Lavender House Potato Gratin
Perfect as a main or a side dish.
Ingredients
1 garlic clove
1.2kg waxy potatoes, peeled
250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
2/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Salt and pepper, to season
2 tbsp fresh continental parsley, chopped
Method
Step 1
Prepare the dish: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a 2L (8-cup) capacity baking dish with butter. Rub the cut side of a halved garlic clove around the base and side of the dish. Thinly slice the potatoes crossways.
Step 2
Assemble the gratin: Arrange a layer of potato slices over the base of the dish, overlapping slightly. Drizzle over cream and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded Swiss cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat to make 3 more layers, finishing with a layer of Swiss cheese.
Step 3
Cook until golden: Bake in oven for 1-1 1/4 hours or until the potato is tender and the top is golden. Set aside for 10 minutes to stand. Sprinkle parsley.
