Swedish Potato Gratin - Potatisgratäng - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 -10 medium sized potatoes
1 1/4 cups cream (I would like light cream would be fine too)
1 onion
2 garlic cloves, chopped (or minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon ground pepper (or to taste)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (or Vasterbotten cheese is also recommended)

Preparation

Peel and slice potatoes and onion.
Bring the cream to a boil, add finely chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
Butter an ovenproof baking dish, then layer potato-slices and onion. Poor the cream-sauce over the potatoes and top with the cheese.
Bake for about 45 minutes at 440F (225C), then cover the top with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
