🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Rub a gratin dish with half a garlic clove, then butter it generously.

  2. 2

    Peel and quickly wash the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices of 2-3 mm without rinsing to preserve the starch.

  3. 3

    Bring milk, cream, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg to a simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Alternate layers of potatoes and cream-milk mixture until exhausted. Finish with the liquid.

  5. 5

    Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes until the top is golden and the potatoes are melting. Cover with aluminum if necessary.

  6. 6

    Let rest for 10 minutes before serving for perfect consistency.

Tips & Tricks
  • Uniform slicing: A mandoline ensures regular slices for even cooking
  • Avoid boiling: Gentle cooking preserves the velvety texture
  • Advance preparation: The cream-milk mixture can be prepared the day before
  • Lighter variation: Replace some milk with chicken broth
Enjoy your meal!
