In other words…a potato bake!:-) And its one of those classic creamy, delicious, warm French dishes that is really easy to make. Here’s how:

Ingredients:
About half a kg of potatoes, washed, peeled and sliced into medium sized sliced
200 gms of Gruyère or Emmental cheese
200 gms of fresh double cream
1 egg beaten
About half a cup of milk
Salt and black pepper
Butter

Method:
Peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly and place in water to remove excess starch
Butter a baking dish
Preheat your oven at 390F (200C).
Dry the potato slices in a clean cotton cloth. Place a first layer of potato slices in the dish. Season with salt and pepper. Then spread the cream and the shredded cheese
Repeat this process till all the layers are done (first potato; salt and pepper; cream and cheese). Try and finish with cheese
Now, beat the egg into the milk and pour this mixture over the potatoes
Bake this for about 1 hour at a temperature of 180C
Serve warm with roast chicken or a simple salad!
