Baked Potatoes with Fontina

Category: Potatoes

3 1/4 lbs potatoes
7 oz Fontina cheese, cubed
3 1/2 oz Gruyere cheese, cubed
3 1/2 oz cooked ham, cut into strips
8 fl oz double cream
1 garlic clove
Butter, for greasing
Salt and pepper

Parboil the unpeeled potatoes in plenty of water for about 20 minutes. Drain, peel and slice the potatoes thinly.

Preheat the oven to 400.

Rub the garlic around the inside of an ovenproof dish several times. Grease well with butter. Make a layer of potato slices in the prepared dish, then a layer of the cheeses, followed by a layer of ham.

Continue making layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of potato slices. Pour the cream over the potato slices. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 6-8.
