Method
Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5, then tip 500ml double cream, 500ml milk and three garlic cloves into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Slice eight large potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream and simmer for three minutes until just cooked.
Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan. Next, remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them in a wide, shallow ovenproof dish about 5cm deep.
Pour over the garlic-infused cream (discarding the garlic) – just enough to seep through the layers and leave some moisture on the surface. This is crucial for a decadent finish.
Finally, scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese, if using, and bake for 30 minutes until the potatoes are soft and browned—increase the heat for five minutes if they are not brown enough.
