Temp:
170° c  -  340° f

Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes
  • 100 g gruyere cheese, grated
  • 500 ml full fat milk
  • 100 ml double cream

Method

Peel and finely slice the potatoes.

Lay 4 slices of potato in the corners of a baking dish and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle some cheese over each slice. Mix the cream and the milk, then pour into the baking dish up to the level of the potato slices. Repeat the whole process until you have 4 layers of potato.

Cook for about an hour, sprinkling over the remaining cheese about 10 minutes from the end of the cooking time.

Serve 1 tower per person, with some of the cream sauce spooned over the top.
