Simple, delicious & pure comfort.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Begin with peeling the potatoes and slicing thinly with either a sharp knife or use a mandoline (much easier).

Step 2

Leave the potatoes to soak in cold water whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic and melt the butter in a small sauce pan.

Step 4

Add the butter to the cream, along with the garlic and stir well.

Step 5

Grate the cheese.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and begin layering in a baking dish. Potatoes, cream, salt & pepper followed by fresh thyme. Repeat the process 4/5 times until you reach the top.

Step 7

Do not put cheese on the top later. Instead cover with tin foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180c/350f for 1 hour 10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and take off the tin foil. Top with a generous amount of cheese and place back in the oven for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Leave to rest for 15 - 20 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy!
