Recipe Notes

When I originally wrote this recipe, I wrote it out with the methods I usually use. However when I photographed it, I made it differently. Either way will result in a delicious gratin. 

If using a round pan, simply arrange the potatoes in a circular motion on top of the butter until pan is full. Sprinkle with garlic, cheese, salt, and pepper, then drizzle with cream. Bake until potatoes are golden, bubbly, and tender.
