Firstly, I found these problems:
- Whatever any of the recipes online say – do not use single cream
- 350ml of cream will be far too much, I used about 320ml and it was very, very creamy.
- 2 gloves of garlic is too much – it was too over-powering
- Cheddar cheese was a bit to strong for my taste – Parmesan would have worked better
I decided to add leeks and courgettes to my meal, which definitely made it taste better.. and I didn’t use any stock.
Method:
Finely sliced the potatoes (about 6 small ones), courgettes and leeks
Heated the cream (320ml), milk (200ml) and garlic in a pan and once it boiled I added the potatoes, leeks and courgettes
Buttered an oven-proof tray, poured the mixture in and put it in a pre-heated oven (200 oC) and after 30 minutes added a layer of cheddar cheese (grated) and left for another 15 minutes.
It was edible, but definitely needs a few adjustments.
P.S Boyfriend says he loved it.
