Popular Demand…
A
friend of mine had just moved in with her boyfriend & the novelty of
planning the weekly menu was wearing thin as he was a “fussy” eater. I told her
about a recipe that I had just discovered (OMG was it really 25 years ago!!) - “Garlic & Cheese Potatoes” they proved so popular
that she served them twice a week for at least a year & they have never
really gone out of fashion since…. JJ

It Couldn’t
be easier…
æ Peel
the potatoes & slice very thinly, plunge them into a bowl of cold
water to remove excess starch & dry them thoroughly with a clean tea towel
æ
Arrange
a layer of potatoes in the base of a well buttered gratin dish, sprinkle with
crushed garlic, salt, freshly ground
black pepper & dot with a few tiny cubes of butter, continue layering until
all the potatoes have been used
æ Mix
together the cream & milk pouring the liquid over the layered potatoes
æ Top
with grated cheese & cook on the top shelf of a preheated oven (gas mark 3)
for 1 hour & 30 minutes until golden & potatoes are cooked through
Forward Planning…
Last week a 2kg bag of potatoes were on special at my local ALDI store
for the princely sum of 18c –that really is unbelievable value. If you have the
time it is a great idea to plan ahead by cooking some extra portions of this
dish & freezing them for future use! JJ
