Irresistible individual parcels of creamy potato bake with a crispy parmesan topping.
Ingredients:
  • Butter, at room temperature, to grease
  • 1.5kg potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 750ml (3 cups) milk
  • 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
  • 2 fresh thyme sprigs, bruised
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 30g (1/3 cup) finely grated parmesan
Instructions:
  • Lightly coat a 23 x 30cm (2L) capacity baking dish with butter.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the potato, milk, cream, thyme, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, then slowly bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes until the potato is slightly tender.
  • Spread a layer of half the potato mixture on the bottom of the dish. Top with the onion. Add the rest of the potato mixture on top and gently press down. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely for 2 hours, then refrigerate overnight to chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the potato gratin on a lined baking tray. Cut it into 8 portions and transfer to the tray.
  • Top with the flavorful Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed to perfection. Plate and enjoy.
