Preparation
- Step 1
Pour half of the heavy cream and half of the milk into a shallow skillet. Stir in the garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the bay leaf. Slice the potatoes into disks about ⅛ inch thick and place in the pan. Barely cover the potatoes with the remaining cream and milk.
- Step 2
Place the potatoes over medium-low heat and simmer for 1 hour. To avoid curdling, do not let the mixture boil, and do not allow the potatoes to stick to the bottom of the pan -- they will scorch. The potatoes can be prepared ahead of time to this point and kept at room temperature.
- Step 3
Thirty minutes before serving, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Transfer the potato mixture into a shallow baking pan and shake to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the potatoes, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with a veal chop, a steak or any other roasted meat.
