3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
1 kg potato
350 g mascarpone cheese
250 ml vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the potatoes with a mandolin or very sharp knife (they must be thin or they will not cook through evenly).

  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the garlic and herbs and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Grease a shallow, 3 litre (12 cup) capacity gratin dish with butter or oil.
  • Arrange a layer of potatoes in the base of the dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter with one-third of the leeks and a few dollops of mascarpone.
  • Continue in the same way to make two more layers, finishing with a layer of potatoes, then top with mascarpone.
  • Pour the stock over the top and cover with foil.
  • Bake in the oven for about 1 hour, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes to brown the top.
