Thin-sliced potatoes get layered with cheese and cream, then baked until golden and tender in this effortless comfort food. The main time-savers are using a mandoline or food processor for slicing and letting the oven do most of the work while you relax.

Slice the potatoes

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

Let it turn golden

Bake for about an hour, until the top is golden. To check if it's ready, pierce a slice of potato from the middle of the dish to see if it's tender. 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 exactly rocket science. This humble side-dish staple – potatoes – gets transformed into something truly divine simply by slicing it thinly and bathing it in rich cream.
