Dauphinoise Potatoes (V)

A side dish which I would always pick over chips. So delicious and is a good accompaniment to steak.

Serves 4

1 Kg of Large Potatoes, peeled and sliced
6 Shallots, finely sliced
3-4 cloves of Garlic, crushed
500ml Double Cream
50g Butter
100g Cheddar Cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 180c/160c fan assisted.

2. Put the butter in a pan and fry the shallots for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cream to the pan and leave to simmer.

3. Place the potatoes in the pan and leave for about 5 minutes.

4. Tip the contents of the pan into an ovenproof dish. Top with the grated cheese and put in the oven for 30-40 Minutes. The potatoes should soften and brown
