Ingredients

  • 15g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove/s garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 170ml single cream
  • 170ml double cream
  • 100ml whole milk
  • 1kg king edward potatoes, peeled and finely sliced

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C, gas mark 3; grease a 1.5-litre baking dish. Heat the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat, until foaming. Stir in the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and thyme; cook for another 3 minutes. Add the creams and milk to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer; season.

  2. Tip the potatoes into the pan and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Transfer everything to the baking dish. (You can chill the dish overnight at this point if you wish, and bring back to room temperature before continuing to cook.) Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
