Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Rub a large 3-qt. (3-l) baking dish about 3 1/2 inches deep with a split garlic clove and butter generously.
  3. Chop the garlic.
  4. Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Blot the slices dry with paper towels.
  5. Spread a layer of potatoes in the prepared dish, slightly overlapping them if desired, and sprinkle with salt & pepper; cover evenly with a small amount of cream, and sprinkle with a little chopped garlic (sprinkle layers and top with grated gruyere cheese, if using).
  6. Repeat the layering until all the potatoes and garlic are used and the potatoes are completely submerged by the cream.
  7. Dot with small bits of butter.
  8. Bake in the hot preheated oven for a good hour, then increase the temperature to 400F (200C) for the last 15-20 minutes until the potatoes have absorbed all of the cream and the top has turned a nice golden brown in color.
  9. Serve in the cooking dish straight from the oven, sprinkling each portion with some of the chives and parsley.
  10. Menu idea: Serve with steak, peaches in red wine and a beaujolais wine to drink!
