Recipe
Potato Bake with Parmesan
Serves 6
If you’re short on time, parboil the potatoes before adding them to the
bake. This will shorten the time they need to bake in the oven.
1kg potatoes, peeled and sliced½ cup milk
½ cup cream
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup parmesan, grated
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs thyme
1. Preheat oven to
160°C.
2. Grease a casserole
dish well.
3. Pour the milk and
cream into a pan, then add the garlic and thyme.
4. Heat the mixture to
boiling point on a high heat. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Strain the liquid
mixture into a jug and sprinkle with nutmeg. Keep it warm.
6. Layer half the
potatoes in the casserole dish, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle each layer
with a little bit of salt and pepper. Pour over half the liquid mixture and
follow with another layer of potatoes. Add the rest of the liquid and sprinkle
over the cheese.
Bake for 90 minutes or
until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked. Serve immediately.
