Potatoes Gratin




Ingredients:

-2 1/4 lb potatoes
-4 cups of whipping cream
-6 cloves of chopped garlic
-2/3 cup fresh grated Gruyere cheese (or Cheddar)
-salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste

Directions:

Peel and wash the potatoes. Pour the cream in a pot. Thinly slice the potatoes. Place them in the pot. Add chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. The potatoes should be totally covered by not "swimming" in the cream. Bring to a boil on medium heat. Stir occasionally to make sure that the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pot.

Arrange the potatoes evenly in a generously buttered dish. The bottom of the dish can be rubbed with garlic. Cover completely with grated cheese. Place the gratin on a baking tray just in case the cream boils over. Cook in the oven at 425 degrees F for about 30 min. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Cook until the potatoes become golden brown on the top and cooked on the inside.

Serve hot. Serves 6.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Basically you bake as many potatoes as you want, then cut them in half. Carefully scoop out the insides of each half into a large bowl. Mix with sour cream (DAISY and KNUDSEN are gluten free), butter, salt and pepper to taste, cheddar cheese, and a chopped onion. Once it is adequately mixed, refill each empty half of the potatoes. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in an oven at 350 degrees until the tops of the potatoes are browned (about 15 minutes).
