O rețetă tradițională românească de suflet: cartofi proaspeți feliați, scăzuți la cuptor în lapte dulce aromatizat cu usturoi zdrobit, unt gras și cimbru uscat, până devin moi și cremoși, cu o crustă ușor rumenită și parfumată cu mărar proaspăt.
Preparation method
Preparing the potatoes and garlic infusion
Peel the white potatoes, wash them thoroughly in cold water, and slice them into uniform rounds about half a centimetre thick. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely or pass them through a press. In a small saucepan, gently warm the whole milk together with the crushed garlic, dried thyme, iodized salt, and ground black pepper, letting them infuse for a few minutes without bringing to a boil.
Arranging and baking in the oven
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a spacious heatproof or ceramic baking dish with half of the softened butter.
Chef's tip
Use good-quality whole milk with 3.5% fat to achieve an authentic creamy sauce, without the need for flour or other thickeners.
If you prefer an even browner crust, you can switch the oven to the grill function for the last 5 minutes of baking.
