Critical Success Points

  • Slice the potatoes very thinly (≈2 mm).
  • Do not boil the cream to avoid it separating.
  • Slow cooking at 160°C, cover for most of the time.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (160°C) with kitchen gloves.
  • Hot cream can cause burns – pour it away from your face.
