Oven-baked creamy garlic pods and cheese potatoes recipe

*If you don't have any wild garlic leaves you can use 4 normal garlic cloves and
optional freshly chopped parsley instead.
My Ingredients:
1.5kg (3 lbs) Potatoes
500ml (1 pint) Whipping Cream
100g (4oz) Cheddar Cheese, grated
50g (2oz) Parmesan Cheese, grated
*About 10 Wild Garlic leaves, shredded thinly
Freshly ground Black Pepper

My Method:
1. Peel and slice thinly all the potatoes using a sharp knife, the blades on a grater or
a mandolin. Place them in a large bowl.
2. Add all the grated parmesan cheese, most of the cheddar cheese, the cream, the
garlic or the wild garlic. Add 8-10 twists of freshly ground pepper.
3. Mix everything together well with a large spoon and then scoop it into a 2" deep
baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese over the top and flatten
everything down gently.
4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 175C, 350F, Gas 4 for 1 hour. After 30 minutes,
take the dish out and gently press the potatoes down again to let the cream come
up over the top of the mix. Pop it back in the oven to finish the cooking time.
The top of the potato dish will be lightly crispy and brown and it will be ready to eat
straight away.
If you want to, you can make this the day before a special dinner, let it cool
completely when cooked and cut it into squares. When you're ready eat, it heats up
in a hot oven or in a microwave quite quickly to serve as a garnish or a side dish.
