Ingredients
- 600 g potatoes
- 250 ml Charalambides Christis Dairy Cream with 35% fat
- 250 ml Charalambides Christis Fresh Milk Full Fat (3% fat)
- 30 g butter
- 30 g all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
- 150 g Charalambides Christis Mozzarella Grated Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Peel and slice them very thinly using a knife or a mandoline slicer to ensure the slices are even in shape.
- In a small saucepan, warm the dairy cream and milk. Set aside.
- In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the warm cream and milk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Grease a baking dish with oil or butter. Layer the potato slices evenly in the dish. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Sprinkle fresh thyme on top and serve warm.
