Gratin PotatoesServes 3 To 4

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic cut
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 3 baking potatoes or about 6 smaller red potatoes skinned
• whole milk plus some half and half
• seasoned bread crumbs or crumbled seasoned croutons I prefer the latter

Directions

1. Rub the inside of 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish with the cut garlic clove let it dry
2. Then smear the inside of the dish with butter or margarine
3. Cut potatoes into slices no thicker than 18-inch
4. Arrange slices in dish in rows slightly overlapping both slices and rows
5. Lightly salt each layer
6. Do not fill dish more than 23 full
7. Pour milk into dish until potatoes are about half covered then just barely cover the whole mixture with the half and half
8. Finally sprinkle all liberally with the bread crumbs and some butter shavings
9. Note
10. I use plain skim milk relying on the seasoned crouton crumbs for flavor it works fine
