creamy gratin stacks

Let’s get cooking!

• Step 1 of 3

  infuse

  Add the cream, butter, thyme, nutmeg, garlic and salt and pepper to a large saucepan and gently heat, being careful not to simmer or boil.

• Step 2 of 3

  assemble

  Peel and slice the potatoes as thinly as you can, use a mandoline if you have one. Rinse the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch and dry with a clean tea towel. Spray a muffin tray liberally with oil or rub with extra butter to avoid sticking, then layer the potato slices in the tray until about half way up the cups. Add a teaspoonful of the warm cream sauce to each cup, along with half of the cheese. Repeat using the rest of the potato slices and cream.

  cook & serve

  Preheat the oven to 200^oC (fan 180^oC).

  Bake for about 45 minutes until cooked through and golden on top. Let the stacks stand for a few minutes to firm up then carefully turn out of tray and serve warm with your favourite festive party food.
