The better version of Scalloped Potatoes, courtesy of Julia Child!

Yummy! For anyone looking for the times/quantites in grams (since we can't post links in comments any more):

I used the following: 185g double cream, 2 garlic clove, 30g butter, 1125g potatoes, salt, white pepper, handfuls of grated cheddar cheese, dried thyme sprinkled over each layer. I used a mandolin to slice the potato but you can also do it by hand. Layer, cover and cook in a 200c oven for about an hour. Add some more cheese, bake uncovered for 15 mins ish, let sit after to set.

I also add a generous pinch of grated nutmeg and it's DELICIOUS.

You can speed this up by par boiling the potatoes before adding the sauce .and popping it in the oven.

I boil the potato a bit before cause sometimes they come out still not cooked

[micheleduvallane]

This one I’m going to try!! Maybe I will use Black Forest ham. And good Swiss cheese slices! Yum!

Thanks for telling us what temperature and for how long to put it in the oven, is not like that’s important or nothing 🙄
