Potato-and-fennel gratin

By Phillippa Cheifitz
Full StarFull StarFull Star

Easy
20 minutes
1 hour

Ingredients

  • 750 g potatoes, peeled
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 T butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 large fennel, or 2 medium bulbs, trimmed

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Slice the potatoes and fennel very thinly. Place in a bowl of cold water. Drain and dry well.

Layer half in a well-buttered ovenproof dish. Season and dot with butter. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and fennel.

Add the garlic to the cream. Place in a saucepan and heat until it comes to the boil. Remove immediately and pour over the potatoes and fennel. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cream has been absorbed, and the vegetables are tender and browned.
