Lamb and Potato

After

D. requested that I make potato gratin, which I haven't done before, but she recalled finding it delicious when she and her sister had it in a restaurant in Perth. So I googled the recipe, and made it to accompany some nice roast lamb on Satdee night. Thinly sliced potatoes are stewed in milk, then layed out in a baking dish that has been greased with butter and had crushed garlic cloves rubbed over its surface, covered in cream and grated Gruyere cheese, then another layer of the same. Came out very nicely, if I do say so meself.
