How to make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, without the fan. Grease a baking dish of about 20 × 25 cm with 10 g of the butter.
  2. Cut the potatoes into thin slices, 2–3 mm thick, and arrange them in the dish.
  3. Mix the milk with the flour, then add the sour cream, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Pour it over the potatoes and dot the rest of the butter on top.
  4. Cover the dish and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover it and bake for another 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Sprinkle over the cheddar and bake for 5–10 more minutes, until it melts and turns lightly golden.
  6. Leave it to stand for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chives or spring onions.
