200 ml of broth or strong stock
1 clove of garlic
butter
black pepper
salt
about 40 g of finely grated hard cheese
Recipe steps
Peel the potatoes and slice them as thinly as possible, no more than 1 mm thick, and dry them. Spread crushed garlic on the bottom of a baking dish and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Place the potato slices side by side, lightly salt each layer, and sprinkle with pepper.
Pour a mixture of cream and broth over them, cover with baking paper or aluminum foil, and weigh down with a lid to keep the potatoes together. Place in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for an hour. Then uncover, increase the temperature, and bake for another 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, sprinkle with grated cheese; I used pecorino.
