My New Years Resolutions always go completely out of the window when my mother-in-law, without fail, gives me at least two pints of double cream in a food parcel when we leave! This recipe is a real dinner party fail-safe potato dish which always gets eaten – I’ve never thrown any away yet. Top tips for success – always wash the potatoes well and dry thoroughly with a tea towel before layering in the dish. Invest in a good nutmeg grinder ( I have a fabulous William Bounds one but cheaper ones are available) – I’ve had mine for years.Also, start in a hot oven so that your cream bubbles enough to cook the potatoes otherwise you will have hard potatoes is a split cream sauce. You can also do it without the cheese if you would prefer.
Give it a go – keep an eye on it as different ovens do different things but it should be easy enough. Good luck.
