  • 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 2 -3 cloves garlic crushed and chopped finely
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup cream low fat is fine
  • 1 cup milk no fat or low fat is fine
  • 1 cup grated tasty cheese low fat is fine

Steps:

  • Variation This recipe also works well with orange sweet potato kumera
  • If using sweet potato try substituting the nutmeg with a generous sprinkling of caraway seeds over each layer
  • Yum
  • Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish generously with the butter or margarine then smear the garlic around the bottom and sides of the dish
  • I use a round glass pyrex dish Peel potatoes and slice thinly into rounds
  • I use the slicing blade of my food processor
  • Line the bottom of the dish with a single layer of overlapping potato slices
  • Sprinkle generously with salt pepper and nutmeg
  • Repeat this layering and sprinkling process until you have used all of the potato slices
  • In a large jug combine cream and milk and stir well
  • Pour this mixture over the potato slices gently easing the potato away from the sides of the dish to allow the liquid to penetrate evenly
  • Place the dish onto a microwave safe plate and cook uncovered in a microwave on MEDIUM HIGH for 15- 20 minutes
  • Check occasionally
  • If the liquid in the potatoes boils over simply pour it from the plate back into the dish and continue cooking
