Potato and Sweet Potato Gratin

Lovely lazy sunday. We spent a whole sunday afternoon shopping and cooking and this was one of the delicious things we made. I almost had a heart attack when I saw how much cream Mr. Olsson put in this but it tasted outstanding! He will proceed with the recipe.

I will indeed and thank you for the flattering introduction Love. It was a lovely day indeed but for the one who wants to know what it is in this delicious little thing are very welcome to continue reading.

Ingredients:
1 Sweet potatoe
6 Regular potatoes
2 dl cream
2 dl soup/broth (= 1 cup)
3 Garlics
1 Yellow onion
1/2 cup white cheddar
Salt and Pepper

I like stuff that takes up space in your mouth. The more the better. Therefor I decided to make thicker slices than I usually do. I would guess that my slices this time were about 7.5 mm thick. So what you need to do is to peel the potatoes and then slice the potatoes. Then you need to cut the onion in desired sizes, and do just the same with the garlic. Now smudge some butter in the Oven pot so the Potatoe is less likely to stick to it and follow these instructions to make it exactly as we did it:

1. Place one layer of regular Potatoes on the bottom.
2. Salt and pepper and cheddar
3. Onion
4. Place a new layer with sweet potatoes
5. Salt and pepper and cheddar
6. Onion and Garlic
7. Place a third layes with Regular Potatoes.
8. Salt and pepper and cheddar
9. Onion and Garlic
10. Place a fourth layer with the rest of the potatoes.

Finnish with some Salt and Pepper=)
Now pour 2 dl of delicious Cream and 2 dl of Broth over the layering. Put it in the oven on 200 degrees celcious for X amount of minutes. This depends on how good your oven are really and what kind of potatoes you are using. So stick a knife, fork, needle, kane, scissors or whatever you can find, into the Gratin to see if it is done. It is done when it is soft. You don't want to eat hard potatoes.

Whatever you do, don't forget Salt and Pepper after every layer. And if you like you can put some cheese on top just some minutes before the Graitn is done. It is much cheesier that way.

Serve with Lingon.

Smaklig måltid!
