2. Four Ingredients Boursin Potato Gratin
For the uninitiated, Boursin is the ultimate Gournay cream cheese flavored with garlic and herbs. Pairing perfectly with wine, bread, crackers, pasta and salmon, it can transform any dish but it truly becomes its own dish when paired with potatoes. This Boursin gratin show-stopper from Gayle Chapman is a twist on classic gratin or dauphinoise, great to enjoy with your Sunday roast or summer barbecue. Side note: this is your cue to buy a mandoline.

- Preheat oven to 180°C fan. In saucepan, heat milk and Boursin cheese until melted and season with plenty of salt and pepper.
- Whisk until they are completely combined.
- Butter an 8 x 10 plate and then sprinkle half of the butter on the bottom of the plate.
- Place the potatoes around the edge of the plate, from the inside to the center (in stacks about an inch high instead of one by one).
- Slowly pour in the Boursin milk so that it is evenly distributed (it should be quite full).
- Pull the side potatoes away from the edge and poke a bit with a spatula in any areas where they seem to need a little more looseness.
- Dab the butter on top, then place the plate on a foil-lined baking tray in the center of the oven for an hour or until crisp on top and cut through easily with a knife.
- If it looks like it’s starting to burn on top, cover with foil. Once out of the oven, let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes and enjoy.

3. Garlic & Parmesan Pommes Anna
Wondering how you can turn a French classic ‘Pommes Anna’ lined with paper-thin potato slices into something even more amazing? Hear this Michelin-trained chef turned potato queen, that’s how.
First make the garlic. Peel the garlic and put it in a small saucepan. Coat the garlic with plenty of oil and keep the heat to low. Let cook for about 30 minutes or until garlic cloves are tender (remove from heat if oil begins to foam). Place the saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool the oil quickly, then transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
Go to lovers! For this recipe, you’ll puree the garlic to a puree and add a pinch of salt.
In a pan, melt some butter in the pan. Add thinly sliced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread with a little butter, minced garlic and sprinkle with parmesan. Repeat the process until you are 6, 7, maybe even 8 layers deep. Cut a sheet of greaseproof paper into a circle and place on top. Place a plate on top and let cook in the saucer-weight pan for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°C and cook for another 10 minutes. Cut into slices and pickle.
