Gratin Dauphinois and Calamari with Fried Tomato

 

During these cold days, I tried a dish that for a long time I wanted to taste "Gratin Dauphinois". It was not heavy.....it was delicious with some calamari with tomato sauce

Gratin Dauphinois

1 kg of potatoes

250ml of pure cream

250 ml) milk

30 grams of butter

4 cloves of garlic

Salt

Pepper

Wash and peel potatoes. Slice them and set aside. Slice the garlic.

Mix the cream and milk. Set aside

With butter, grease a clay mold for the oven. Add a little of the milk/cream mix. Arrange a layer of potatoes, and distribute on top of them garlic, salt, pepper. Once you finished all layers possible, pour all the cream/milk mixture. On top sprinkle salt and pepper. It is not in the recipe, but I added some oregano to make it more flavorful. Bake in the oven at 350F for 30 minutes. It will depend on how thick are your potato slices.
