Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a creamy potato gratin that comes together quickly with just slicing, mixing, and baking. The trickiest part is getting those potato slices nice and thin and even (a mandoline helps here!), but then it's smooth sailing as everything gets coated in silky cream and cheese before spending about an hour in the oven until it turns gorgeously golden on top.

Slice the potatoes

Peel the potatoes, wash them and pat dry. Slice into very thin slices. You can use the slicing attachment on a food processor or a hand-held mandoline, similar to the one shown in the photo. The slices should be thin and even.

Bake it

If you like, sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C.
6/6

Let it turn golden

Bake for about an hour, until the top turns golden. You can test if it's ready by piercing a slice of potato somewhere in the middle to check it's soft. Serve just as it is, with a salad, or as a side to your main course.

About this recipe

For today's recipe I'd like to borrow my other half's favourite phrase: 'Such a silly little thing, and yet so good.' And yes, he's right. Potato gratin with cream isn't rocket science. This humble side-dish staple – potatoes – is transformed into something truly divine simply by slicing them thinly and baking them in silky cream.
