Time 1h30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Pour half of the heavy cream and half of the milk into a shallow skillet. Stir in the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the bay leaf. Slice the potatoes into disks about 1/8 inch thick and place in the pan. Barely cover the potatoes with the remaining cream and milk.
  • Place the potatoes over medium-low heat and simmer for 1 hour. To avoid curdling, do not let the mixture boil, and do not allow the potatoes to stick to the bottom of the pan -- they will scorch. The potatoes can be prepared ahead of time to this point and kept at room temperature.
  • Thirty minutes before serving, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Transfer the potato mixture into a shallow baking pan and shake to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the potatoes, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with a veal chop, a steak or any other roasted meat.
