Potato Gratin

This is one of our favorite 'potatoes for dinner' options.

What you need (for two servings):
  • 1/3 cup half and half,
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk,
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or one garlic clove sliced/crushed),
  • salt and pepper,
  • 3 - 4 medium size potatoes,
  • grated cheese of your choice
and also: baking dish, some butter to grease the baking dish, aluminum foil.

Procedure:
1. Heat oven to 375F/ 190C
2. Heat the milk and half and half + garlic in a pot on the stove  (set it to #4).
2. Peel and slice the potatoes (each slice = 1/5 inch thick).
3. Grease your baking dish slightly.
4. Place 1 layer of sliced potatoes in the baking dish (see the picture).



5. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.


6. Pour a bit of the milk and half and half mixture over the potatoes.
7. Place another layer of sliced potatoes into the dish, repeat step #5 & #6 etc.
8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes.
9. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for 20 minutes more.
10. Take the dish out of the oven, cover the potatoes with grated cheese.
11. Bake it all for 10 minutes till the cheese is melted and a bit brownish on sides.
