Classic potato gratin — thinly sliced potatoes baked in rich cream and covered with a layer of golden cheese. An indulgent side dish. Vegan version: Vegan cheese (shredded), Brewer's yeast (Ptitim), Unsweetened soy milk, Canola oil and Plant-based cooking cream.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
In a small pot, heat the cream, unsweetened soy milk, garlic, nutmeg, salt and black pepper just to a boil, then remove from the heat.

💡Covering at the start of baking cooks the potatoes in the steam from the cream; uncovered at the end, the cheese browns.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
