Ingredients
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 lemon
- 5 potatoes
- 3 oz Cheddar
- half a pinte crème fraîche (liquid)
- 1 pinch of nutmeg — optional
- 1 pinch of pepper — optional
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into rounds 3 millimetres thick. Swirl the potatoes around in water to remove the excess starch. Discard the water, place the potatoes on a wooden surface and dry them with kitchen paper or a tea towel.

Peel and chop the garlic. Mix the potatoes with the cream, garlic, salt and optional pepper. Wash the lemon and remove its zest in fine pieces, then stir it in. Mix well to coat all the potatoes with crème fraîche.
