Potato Gratin

Ingredients
10 yukon potatoes
1 stick of butter
3 cups of cream
3 garlic cloves, crushed
5 sprigs of thyme
salt and pepper


To make Gratin...
Preheat oven to 450F. Butter the sides and bottom of a baking dish. Slice or mandolin potatoes really thin, like paper. In a saucepan over low heat infuse the cream with the garlic and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Arrange potato slices evenly around your baking dish, dolloping dots of butter throughout each layer. Strain the cream over the top of the baking dish covering potatoes, discard of the garlic and thyme. Dot the top with a little more butter, cover gratin with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, then bake for a further 30-45 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork and the top is golden brown.
