  • In a mixing bowl mix the egg yolks and cream.
  • Season. Put a layer of potato on the gratin dish. Add some of the mixture. Lay a final layer of potato then pour out the rest of the mixture.
  • Sprinkle with grated gruyère. Oven cook at 180° for around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Near the end of this time raise the oven temperature to make the gratin top golden.
