Gratineed Potatoes

Recipe Ingredients

12 teaspoons	60ml	Potatoes - peeled (medium)
3 cups	711ml	Heavy cream
3		Garlic cloves - 2 of them minced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 cup	118ml	Crème fraîche
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Grated Swiss cheese

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Slice the potatoes 1/8-inch thick. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, cream, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Place in a large casserole dish and cook in a bain-marie, or a roasting pan filled with sufficient water to come half way up the sides of the casserole dish, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are just tender. Remove from oven.

Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.

Rub a large gratin dish with the remaining clove of garlic and spread with 1/4 cup of crème fraîche. Pour in half the potatoes. Spread with remaining 1/4 cup crème fraîche, add remaining potatoes, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Set gratin dish in a bain-marie (or the roasting pan filled with water) and place in the hot oven until the potatoes are brown (about 15 minutes).

Serve from the gratin dish.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 side dish servings.
