A good potato gratin is one of dishes that can comfort, cure and calm. If you’ve had a bad day, a long day or just a lazy day; this will be sure to sort you out. It’s miraculous and just so easy to make. Let me know how you get on.

Ingredients:

1. Preheat the oven to 240°C.


2. In a jug of sorts, combine the cream, milk and seasoning.


3. Take a large over proof dish and begin layering up the sliced potatoes.

4. After completing your second layer, cut one onion into fine moons and scatter over. Then pour over about 1/3 of the cream mix and top with a generous layer of cheese.

5. Continue like so until you run out of potatoes, making sure that the top layer is one of thick cheese. Finish with freshly ground black-pepper and some ground nutmeg.

6. Put in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and crusty, the cream is bubbling over and potatoes are tender. Enjoy!
