Equipment
- oven
- pan
- casserole dish
Ingredients
- 2-3 potatoes peeled, thoroughly washed and sliced
- 1 onion sliced thinly – I had red onion. You can usewhatever
- 1 clove garlic sliced thinly
- 100 ml milk
- olive oil, salt and pepper
- 30 gr grana padano shreded
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salty water. Reserve a bit of the starchy water, like 50-100ml
- Strain and put them aside
- Start heating the oven to 200 C
- In a deep pan, heat some olive oil and on medium-low heat sweat the onions. We want them translucent and wiggly. Add some salt and pepper to help you through the process.
- When almost done, add the garlic clove and mix around for 30 seconds
- Add the potatoes once the onions are ready and mix them thoroughly.
- Add the starchy water or the starch with water and bring to boil.
- At this point add the milk and stir. Bringing it to boil, the whole thing should have thickened a bit.
- Add the whole mixture in a casserole and top it off with some shredded grana
- Bake it in 200 for 15-20 minutes. As everything is cooked, we are looking for some of the liquid to evaporate and the cheese to melt properly.
