Peel and slice the potatoes thinly. No need for fancy equipment, a sharp kitchen knife all that is needed.
Melt the butter in a small pan, add the onion and saute gently for 5 minutes to soften, but not colour the onions. Now add the garlic and saute for a further minute.
Place a layer of sliced potatoes on the base of an oven-proof dish, approximately 20x20cm square. Follow this will a little seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Take care not to over season as each layer of potato requires seasoning.
Now add a layer of the onion and garlic mixture, spreading it over the potato layer. Repeat this layering process of potato and onion a further two times, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.
Combine the milk and cream in a jug and pour over potatoes before placing the dish in the oven to cook for 1 hour or until the potatoes are cooked and a knife slides easily through the layers.
Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
