Perfect for a family dinner or a special gathering, this gratin will be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Let's get started on this mouthwatering journey.

Ingredients:

1 cup light sour cream
230g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
5 potatoes
1000g
1 cup cheddar cheese
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Garlic:
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
3. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
4. Mix the Dairy Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream, milk, and minced garlic.
- Stir until well mixed.
5. Layer the Potatoes:
- In a baking dish (about 9x13 inches or similar size), arrange an even layer of potato slices.
- Pour a portion of the sour cream mixture over the potato layer, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the layer.
- Repeat the layering process (potato slices, sour cream mixture, and cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheddar cheese on top.
6. Bake the Gratin:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the gratin to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Cut into portions and serve warm.

Tips:

- For best results, choose starchy potatoes like Russets as they have a better texture for gratins.

- Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Gently crush the garlic cloves before adding them to release more of their flavor.

- If you want a crispier top, sprinkle a bit more cheese over the top in the last 10 minutes of baking.

- Let the gratin sit for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven to allow it to set and make for easier serving.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully made Chef’s Gratin! With its rich and creamy texture combined with cheesy goodness and perfectly cooked potatoes, this dish is sure to become a staple at your table. Serve it as a side dish or enjoy it on its own for a delightful meal. Bon appétit!
