Ingredients
- 30ml - butter
- - salt, freshly ground black pepper and nutmeg, to taste
- 700g - Mediterranean potatoes
- 250ml - cream
- 2 - garlic cloves, bruised
- 1 - onion, chopped
- 2 - eggs
- - generous handful of fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme and chives, chopped
- 30ml - dried breadcrumbs
- 125ml - parmesan cheese, grated
Method
Baked to golden-brown perfection makes this the dreamiest side dish.
Preheat the oven.
Peel the potatoes and boil them until almost soft, then drain and slice.
Melt the butter in a small frying pan and sauté the onion until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or so.
Beat the eggs, cream and half the Parmesan together. Add the herbs and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Spoon the potatoes into a greased baking dish and top with the onion.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake for about an hour until golden.
TIP:
For an interesting variation, cook turnips, carrots or parsnips with the potatoes, but make sure the quantity remains 700g.
