Sideways potato gratin
This potato gratin is meltingly soft underneath and wonderfully crispy on top. Arrange potato slices 'sideways' for a beautiful presentation.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg floury potatoes
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 200 ml hot vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to season optional
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into 4-5mm (approx. ¼ inch) slices. Place in a large mixing bowl and pour the oil over. Mix with your hands to ensue that each slice is coated with oil.
- Arrange the slices vertically in an ovenproof dish. Start with a row around the edge, then fill in the centre. Use different sized pieces to fill the gaps and ensure the slices are packed tightly. Set aside any oil remaining in the mixing bowl once the potato slices are arranged in the baking dish.
- Pour the stock over the potatoes and cook in a microwave on full power for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the potatoes have cooked in the microwave, brush the top with the reserved oil, season with salt and pepper if desired, then transfer to the oven.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for around an hour until brown and crispy on top. Serve hot!
