Truffle, the magical ingredient that makes everything taste well! 🙂 All joking aside this potato gratin is smooth and creamy with a subtle hint of truffle. It takes some time to bake but that time can be well spend with family or prepping the rest of your Christmas dishes!
Ingredients for 2 pers.:
- 3 large potatoes
- 125 ml cooking cream
- 1 clove of garlic
- 75 gr grated cheese
- 50 gr parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- truffle oil
- pepper
How to prepare it:
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Start by greasing the baking dish (or dishes) with some butter.
Peel of the skin of the potatoes. Grate small flat leaves of the potatoes by using a mandolin or a very sharp knife.
Take a mixing bowl, add the egg, the cooking cream and a big sip of truffle oil. Peel the skin of the garlic, cut the garlic in half and take out the root. Squeeze the garlic into the bowl. Add the grated cheese and a decent amount of pepper. Stir well.
Now we start building the gratin. Start by covering the bottom of the baking dish(es) with a layer of potato leaves. It doesn’t need to be perfect but make sure that there are no real gaps. Once you’ve finished the first layer, poor a bit of the egg mix on top, now you add the second layer of potato leaves and a bit of cheese mix. Repeat this for about 2 times and make sure you end with the cheese. Finalize the dish by adding some parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the dishes with some aluminum foil. De dish needs to bake in the oven for about 50 minutes. After 30 minutes, you can take away the foil so that the top of the gratin can become crispy and golden brown.
