Ingredients

  • 500 potato wafer thin sliced (we used Desirée)
  • small parsnips wafer thin sliced
  •  garlic clove thinly sliced
  • tbsp rosemary leaves fresh chopped
  • 284 ml double cream 
  • 150 ml milk 
  • 350 carrots wafer thin sliced
  • 50 parmesan grated

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and butter a shallow ovenproof dish.
  2. Layer the potatoes, then the parsnip in the bottom of the dish with two of the sliced garlic cloves and sprinkle over a little salt and half the rosemary. Its best to keep the potatoes buried under the other vegetables because they go black if they are on top of the gratin.
  3. Pour the cream and milk into a large saucepan, add the rest of the rosemary and garlic, the carrots and a little seasoning. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to the lowest it will go and simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Pour the carrots and cream over the other vegetables, and spread the carrots out.
  5. Sprinkle over the parmesan, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake a further 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
