Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 kilo (2.2 lbs) of Paris Piper potatoes, sliced
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) of cream
- ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, unpeeled and crushed
- 2–3 anchovies, plus a bit of their oil
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ of a whole nutmeg, grated
Seasonings:
- Pinch of salt (or to taste)
- Pinch of pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- Meticulously slice potatoes and onions into thin, uniform rounds to promote consistent texture and cooking.
- Select a large baking tray and create a harmonious mixture of sliced potatoes, onions, salt, ground black pepper, heavy cream, fresh thyme leaves, minced anchovies, crushed garlic, ground nutmeg, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Carefully pour boiling water into the tray, filling it approximately one-quarter of the way up the sides of the ingredients to create a moisture-rich cooking environment.
- Position the tray on the stovetop and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, allowing the ingredients to start cooking and melding flavors.
- Cover the tray with aluminum foil and reduce heat, letting the mixture gently simmer for 6 minutes to soften the potatoes and infuse the ingredients.
- Remove the foil and evenly sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese across the surface, creating a potential crispy, golden topping.
- Transfer the tray to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the top turns a rich golden brown and develops a bubbly, enticing texture.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 3-5 minutes, enabling the flavors to settle and the temperature to become more manageable.
- Serve immediately while warm, ensuring each portion captures the creamy, layered essence of the dish.
Notes
- Stash leftovers in an airtight container for a quick and delicious meal later.
- Warm up the dish gently in the oven to preserve its creamy texture and golden edges.
- Freezing works like a charm for future comfort food cravings.
- Prep ahead and enjoy the convenience of having this luxurious potato dish ready to go.
