Basic Potatoe Gratin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 kg potato (waxy)
250 ml cream
250 ml milk (best whole fat)
1 garlic clove (minced)
nutmeg (adjust amount to your liking)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Peel raw potatoes and slice very thinly (mandoline).
Stack them in an oven proof dish (butter is not necessary, the cream will prevent the potatoes from sticking to the dish) and let them overlap (like tiles on a roof).
Mix cream and milk together, add garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg (here you could also throw in some rosemary if you like). Be generous with the salt!
Put gratin into a preheated oven and let bake at 200\u00b0C until the surface has browned nicely (about 45 min.).
