  • garlic - 2 cloves

  • butter - 4 tbsp

  • single cream - 350ml

  • white pepper and salt

  • Butter the dish generously, then blend the milk and cream in a jug.

  • Cover the base of the dish with a layer of potatoes. Dot a little butter over the potatoes layer, season with pepper and salt, pout over a little of the milk and cream mixture.

  • Continue making layers until all the remaining ingredients used up.

  • Bake the potatoes for 90 minutes. Cover with a lid if the dish browns too quickly.
