ingredients

2 lbs potatoes
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
3 ounces butter
10 fluid ounces whole milk
10 fluid ounces double cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch grated nutmeg

directions

Peel the potatoes and slice thinly-use a mandolin slicer for speed.
Don't rinse them or you'll wash off the starch that makes them creamy.
Heat the oven to 350*F.
Select a large baking dish, which the potatoes will also be served in.
Rub the garlic round the inside of the baking dish.
Generously grease the dish with about 1 oz of the butter.
Put the milk, cream, remaining butter, seasoning and nutmeg into a large pan.
Bring to a simmer, add the potato slices and heat gently, bringing the contents back to a simmer.
Turn the potato mixture into the baking dish and spread the slices evenly.
Place in the oven and bake for 1- 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender and browned on the surface.
