Saturday: Sunday Treats

Yummiest Potato Au Gratin




I don't know whether you will love me forever or hate me forever for sharing the easiest and the most delicious recipe in the world. Only problem - it's sooooo rich and fattening!!

This is my simplified version

You will need:
A mandolin or a slicer

Some Ice Water
Delicious Lucious Heavy Cooking Cream (like 400ml)
Cheese (as much or as little as you want) It's sinful if you put Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs in this, but any cheese will do)
Salt, pepper, Nutmeg and, if you like, some Chopped parsley for Garnish
1 Clove of Garlic and some butter (mmmmmm I'm just drooling thinking of this)


Method
Preheat your oven to 160 Degrees Centigrade
take the potatoes, peel them and take out those awful looking eyes, and slice them with your slicer
Dunk the sliced potatoes in ice water (important step, please do not skip)
Then take your baking dish and start arranging the potatoes in rows one after another
After you fill up the entire bottom layer, put salt and pepper on this (sometimes i even put cheese in the middle of this layer)
Repeat by arranging more slices of potatoes and again putting the salt pepper and optional cheese.
once you've filled the whole dish, carefully pour cream into the dish from the side and cover the potatoes and the dish
Top with Cheese, a little chopped parsley and put in the oven till the potatoes are cooked. This will take a good 20 - 25 minutes

The end result is this absolutely rich, creamy, delicious and irresistible Baked dish with creamy luscious potatoes, cheesy goodness and unbelievable satisfaction.

Disclaimer: I take no part in the responsibility for you gaining tonnes of weight because you want to make and eat this dish everyday. This dish should be treated with responsibility and can only be made when you are in the mood to treat yourself.
