Potato Gratin in a Muffin Tin

Quite a unique idea that I picked up from one of the TV shows on Food Network and changed it to suit our tastes.

Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
1/2 cup grated cheese (use any that you like)
3-4 cloves garlic - very finely chopped
1/2 cup cream

Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375C.
  2. Grease a non-stick muffin pan very well .
  3. Peel the potatoes and cut into paper thin slices (I use a mandolin for this).
  4. Mix the chopped garlic with the grated cheese.
  5. Line the bottoms of the muffin tins with the thin potato slices. Add a layer of cheese mixture, then a layer of potatoes, then cheese and continue till you have used up all your potatoes and cheese mixture.
  6. Pour the cream on the top of the potatoes.
  7. Place in the pre-heated oven and cook for 35-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  8. To serve, use a butter knife and remove each individual "gratin" per serving.
