# Gratin Dauphinois

### Ingredients
 * potatoes, thinly sliced
 * 500 milliliters double cream
 * 500 milliliters milk
 * 6 cloves smoked garlic, crushed
 * salt
 * pepper

### Directions

Butter a shallow baking tray. Bring the milk and cream to the boil with the crushed garlic. Layer the potatoes, covering each layer with a little of the cream mix and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. When the tray is full, pack down with the back of a fish slice; finally spoon over a little more cream. Place into a 200℃ oven. Press down at regular intervals with the back of a fish slice. Cook until golden brown on top. Push a sharp knife into the centre to test they are done; they should be soft and wel compacted.
