Little pots of comfort: potato gratin

Potato_gratin_1

This dish is a warm welcome on any cold winter day or served as a hearty side dish to any meal. The best part is that it is so easy to make!

You'll need:

  • 2 large baking potatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 200 ml cream
  • olive oil
  • 150-200 g finely shaved parmesan cheese
  • 4 ramekins (about 10 cm in diameter)

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (the thinner you slice them the faster they will cook) and the onion. Brush the ramekin with generous dose of olive oil. Start layering the ramekin with the slices of potatoes and slices of onion, pouring a little cream after every few layers. If you like your potato gratin cheesy you can also drizzle some parmesan cheese through the layers.

Bake in oven for around 30-40 mins or until potatoes are nice and soft. Drizzle more parmesan on top and grill for another 5 mins until cheese is golden.
