Potato Gratin

Steps

1. 1

   Place butter, cream and garlic in a jug. Mix until combined.

2. 2

   Peel the potatoes and slice them 3mm thick.

3. 3

   Spread 1/3 of the potatoes in a baking dish, then pour over 1/3 of the cream mixture, scatter with 1/3 of the salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup cheese.

4. 4

   Repeat for the 2nd and third layer, but **do not finish with cheese** on the top layer (will add later).

5. 5

   Cover with lid or foil, and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the potatoes in the middle are soft (use a knife to test); it might take up to 1½ hours.

6. 6

   Remove foil, top with cheese. Bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbly. Stand 5 minutes before serving.
