Preparation

  1. Slice each potato section into disks about a quarter-inch thick. Slice each disk in half widthwise. Do not wash.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, cream, garlic and salt. Bring to a boil, add potatoes, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they are semifirm but not too soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Over medium heat, reduce milk mixture to about a cup. Discard garlic.
  4. Arrange potatoes in individual gratin dishes. Evenly distribute milk mixture over them. Before serving, place under a broiler until potatoes are golden brown.
