WINTER WONDERLAND
If there’s ever a time to slow things down and while away the hours in a warm kitchen, it’s now. Crank up the cooker, line up the casserole dishes and set your sights on root vegetables, sticky ribs, cheesy baked pasta and savoury crumbles that can be eaten straight from the roasting pan or frozen for a quick meal as the temperature drops further.
Potato & parmesan gratin
Ready 1½ hours | Serves 8-10 | GF
3kg Agria potatoes
40g butter
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
½ tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to garnish
½ cup milk
1 cup cream
¼ cup grated parmesan, plus extra for sprinkling
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line an ovenproof dish with baking paper (I used a square 22cm cake tin).
2 Peel and slice potatoes as thinly as you can. Heat butter, garlic, salt and thyme in a pot until butter has just melted.
Arrange potato over the base in an even layer, overlapping slices slightly, then brush with the garlic
