Ingrediente:

• 2 kg de cartofi curatati, spalati si taiati in felii subtiri;

• 500 mL smantana lichida pentru gatit;

• 500 mL lapte;

• 4 catei de usturoi;

• 500 grame cascaval ras;

• sare;

• piper;

• boia iute;

• 30 grame unt;

• 20 grame faina de grau;

• ¼ lingurita oregano uscat.

Timp de preparare: 1 ora 30 minute

Portii: 10

Mod de preparare:

Intr-o oala, adaugati laptele, smantana si usturoiul dat prin presa. Incalziti totul la foc mic, dar nu lasati sa fiarba. Cand compozitia s-a incalzit, dati deoparte oala. Separat, intr-o oala topiti cele 30 de grame de unt si adaugati faina. Amestecati totul timp de 3 minute pana se formeaza o pasta. Peste pasta, adaugati treptat din amestecul de lapte si smantana. Amestecati foarte bine pentru a preveni formarea cocoloaselor. Lasati amestecul pe foc aproximativ 5 minute pana cand sosul se ingroasa. Adaugati sare, piper si boia dupa gust.  Intr-o tava de cuptor care este tapetata cu hartie de copt, aranjati cartofii in straturi. Peste cartofi turnati din amestecul de lapte si smantana. Adaugati cascaval ras si acoperiti cu inca un strat de cartofi. La final adaugati restul ramas din amestecul de lapte cu smantana. Acoperiti tava cu folie de aluminiu si puneti tava in cuptorul preincalzit la 200 ° C timp de 60 de minute la foc mediu, sau pana cand suprafata cartofilor devine aurie. Dupa ce cartofii s-au gratinat, scoateti tava si lasati-o la temperatura camerei pentru 10 minute. Cartofii gratinati reprezinta o alternativa usoara si gustoasa de garnitura. Puteti sa ii serviti alaturi de o salata sau o friptura.

Separately, in another pot, melt the 30 grams of butter and add the flour. Stir for 3 minutes until a paste forms. Gradually add the warm milk and cream mixture to the paste, whisking well to prevent lumps. Keep the mixture over the heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, black pepper, and hot paprika to taste.

In a baking dish lined with baking paper, arrange the potatoes in layers. Pour some of the milk and cream sauce over the potatoes, add grated cheese, and cover with another layer of potatoes. At the end, pour in the remaining milk and cream sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 60 minutes over medium heat, or until the top turns golden. After the potatoes are gratinated, remove the dish and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. These baked potato gratin are an easy and delicious side dish, and you can serve them with a salad or a roast.
