1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

2 Using the mandoline, thinly slice the potatoes one at a time. Add the sliced potatoes to a colander and rinse under cool water to remove any excess starch

3 In a large pan over a medium-high heat, combine the milk, cream, nutmeg, thyme leaves and garlic. 4Add the potatoes, bring to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat, season and set aside.

5 Layer the potatoes into a baking dish, trimming as needed and pressing them down to make them fit snugly. Pour the milk and cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.

6 In a bowl, combine the two cheeses. Sprinkle evenly over the gratin, then place on a baking tray.

7 Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown on top. Check if the gratin is ready by inserting the tip of a sharp knife into the centre — it should slide in easily. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover the gratin with foil. 8AIIow the gratin to stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
