Potatoes in Garlic & Cream

I love this recipe. It is just so simple and easy to make and your guests will love you for it, even if they won't love the calories that go with it. I serve this if I am having a main meal that is not too heavy or spicy. As this is quite a rich side dish it goes better with meals such as a barbecue or roast meat meal.

INGREDIENTS:

4 large potatoes
300 ml carton whipping cream
1 clove crushed garlic (bottled crushed will do also)
chip or chicken salt to taste
cracked black peopper to taste
paprika

PREPARATION:

Peel and slice the potatoes. Place a layer of potatoes in a shallow oval oven dish. Mix the garlic through the cream and add the salt and pepper to this. Pour some of this over the potatoes and continue a layer of potatoes then one of cream mix, finishing with the cream. Sprinkle a little paprika over the top of the cream and bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes. Turn heat down to medium and cook a further 35 - 40 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the top is a lovely golden brown. I like to serve with green vegetables such as broccoli or brussel spouts and a yellow vegetable such as baby carrots or pumpkin, then you get all the lovely colours and flavours with your side dishes and it looks great when you serve.
