Method
step 1
Heat the cream, milk and garlic in a pan, adding a good grating of nutmeg. Leave to infuse while you prep the spuds.
step 2
Cut the little ends off each potato so it’s a similar size all the way along. Cut into thin slices, keeping the slices together, then lay in a very large wide, shallow buttered dish approx 24cm by 36cm in rows, pushing down a bit like fanned out cards or dominoes. Keep going until the surface is covered.
step 3
Reheat and season the cream, then discard the garlic. Pour over the potatoes and press down with the back of a fish slice. Scatter with the parmesan. Bake alongside the turkey (at 180C/fan 160C/gas 4) for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender and golden.
