Potatoes Dauphinois

A classic French recipe...And a nice way to load thousands of calories into a dish containing the usually healthy potato.

Ingredients:

• Half a kilogram of potatoes
• 1 Clove of garlic
• 150ml Double Cream
• 150ml Full fat milk
• Good knob of butter
• Salt and pepper

Method:

Peal the potatoes and cut into very thin slices.

Take a over-proof dish and run the crushed garlic around the base. Mix the cream and milk in thoroughly.

Layer the potatoes into the dish and pour on the cream and milk.

Finish with a good grind of pepper and a small sprinkling of salt. Add small chunks of the butter on top and finally place into a preheated oven (150 degrees) for 90 minutes.
