Ultimate Potato Gratin

Instructions

• 1Using a food processor, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices and place in a bowl.
• 2Add the cream, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic to the potatoes and mix to coat.
• 3Layer the potatoes in a 8-inch square 2½-inch deep baking dish. Pour over the cream that is left in the bowl and sprinkle with the cheese. Cover with a sheet of parchment paper then foil. The parchment paper stops the cheese sticking to the foil. 
• 4Insert the oven rack in position 3 Down. Set the oven to Bake & Roast, Super Convection, 350°F, for 1 hour 15 minutes and press Start to preheat. 
• 5Once preheated, place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. When there is 25 minutes remaining on the timer, remove the foil and parchment paper and continue cooking. 
• 6The gratin should be golden brown. Test the potatoes with a skewer to check if they are tender. If not, press A Bit More.
  Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
• 7Sprinkle the gratin with chives and cracked pepper and serve.
