CREAMY POTATO BAKE

It's easy to halve the potato when there is love. - Irish Proverb

Oh how I love me my potato!

This is an easy recipe with warm, comforting flavour and will pair well with any meat mains or pasta. I'm looking forward to eating it hot out of the oven in the winter.

What you’ll need:

500 ml milk
500 ml cream
2 small onions (peeled)
4 -5 potatoes
7 – 8 cloves crushed garlic
Salt
Butter

How to:

1.Preheat the oven to 120°C. Peel and chop the potatoes into slices (these don’t need to be very thin so don’t kill yourself).

2. Drop the milk, cream, potatoes, salt, some butter, the onions (peeled but whole) and crushed garlic into a deep pan. Let the mix bubble and cook till the potatoes are tender (not mushy because they’ll cook some more in a bit).

Note: You can use less garlic if you’re not a fan I add lots because I am. =)

3. Pour the mixture (minus the onions) into a baking dish. Add a little more butter and bake for 15 mins or till the top is gently browned and the mixture is bubbling.

 Note: You can pull the dish out and check if the potatoes are properly cooked.
