Ingredients
- 900 g King Edward Potatoes
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 25g Butter
- 400ml double cream
- 400ml full-fat Milk
- 50g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 100g Mozzarella
Method
1. Peel and slice the potatoes as thinly as you can; a mandolin is a handy gadget to use for this.2. In a large saucepan, lightly fry the shallots and garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk and cream and bring to a simmer.
3. Add the potatoes to the pan and continue simmering for about 8-10 minutes until they're tender.
4. Preheat a grill to hot.
5. Season well and tip the potatoes into a heatproof serving dish. Scatter over the grated Cheddar, and break the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and dot over the surface.
6. Place the dish under a hot grill for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and colour the surface. Serve straight away.

doesnt work !!!! stage 3: potatoes are crowded in saucepan & stick together so the milk/cream doesnt reach them all & they cook very unevenly. WORSE TO COME: if you stir them, the well cooked slices break up. If you dont stir, then the milk catches & burns. Its a classic dish so stick to the classic method: use all ingredients, but layer in a dish & put in medium oven for around an hour - then grill til golden.
This recipe is excellent. superb!
tried this way if cooking the layered potatoes. always before they are still hard, but by simmering in the cream in a pan on the hob it was easy to test when they were nearly done and then transfer to oven .tdish. they e
