Recipe

• 1 first you'll need a potatoe slicer, otherwise, you'll spend forever thinly slicing potatoes for this dish.
• 2 next you'll need a good deep'ish glass bowl that is oven friendly to cook it in.
• 3 i generally heat up the oven at 150c degrees for this dish, although with experience you can choose your own setting.
• 4 slice potatoes and layer in dish, adding the odd peppercorn, again according to taste.
• 5 cover them with 1 half double cream (works best) and 1 half milk add the salt into the mix.
• 6 then put in oven and leave for roughly 45mins-1hour.
• 7 when adding the milk/cream mix, just cover the potatoes, make sure that they're not floating too much, otherwise, it takes longer to cook.
• 8 this is the original french recipe, i learnt this when i was working in a restaurant in the south of france when i was 14years old.
• 9 other people have been known to add a dash of nutmeg, even an egg to the milk/cream mix and even add grated cheese to to the top, but generally it all depends on taste.
