Individual creamy potato gratins

Looking for a comforting and luxurious side dish? These individual creamy potato gratins are the perfect choice. Combining the rich, velvety texture of heavy whipping cream with the aromatic allure of garlic and nutmeg, these gratins are a delightful treat. Whether you're serving them at a holiday feast or a weekday dinner, they're sure to impress.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes
400g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
170g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. If you have a mandoline slicer, this will help achieve uniform slices quickly.
3. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, minced garlic, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until fully mixed.
4. Assemble Gratins:
- Butter the muffin pan or individual ramekins thoroughly.
- Layer the potato slices in each muffin cup or ramekin, slightly overlapping each slice.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the potatoes until they are covered but not overflowing. Press down gently on the potatoes to help the cream distribute evenly.
5. Bake:
- Cover the muffin pan or ramekins with foil to prevent excess browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. The gratins should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve: Let the gratins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin pan or ramekins. Use a small spatula or butter knife to loosen the edges if necessary.
7. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with freshly chopped herbs such as chives or parsley before serving.

Tips:

- Use a mandoline to achieve uniformly thin potato slices, ensuring even cooking.

- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a layer of grated cheese between the potato slices.

- Let the gratins sit for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to thicken.

Voilà! Your individual creamy potato gratins are now ready to be enjoyed. The tender layers of potatoes infused with garlic, nutmeg, and rich cream make for an irresistible dish that’s sure to savor every bite. Perfect for any occasion, this recipe is a true winner for potato lovers.
