Potato Dauphinoise

submitted by Ian

Serves 4

2 large floury potatoes, eg baking potatoes;
150ml milk;
150ml double cream;
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed;
salt and pepper;
25g butter;
50g tasty cheddar cheese, grated

Place the cream, milk and garlic in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil.  Remove and allow to cool. 
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 2mm thick).
Butter a small baking tray or earthenware ovenproof dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange slices of potato over the bottom of the dish overlapping as you go, lightly seasoning each layer with salt and pepper until all the potato is used. 
Pour over the cream and milk mixture until the potatoes are just covered.  Press down the potatoes with a fish slice or something flat so that the cream covers all of the potatoes. 
Bake in a moderate oven (180øC 350øF Gas 4) for about 30 minutes. 
Turn the oven down to 150øC 300øF Gas 2 and sprinkle the potatoes with grated cheese. Cook until tender for a further 15 minutes (approx).
If the potatoes get too brown on top, cover with silver foil.
