Wednesday Recipe (on a Thursday): Potato & Fennel Gratin

My mum and dad found this recipe in DN and recommended it to us. We made it last night (on a Wednesday...) and really liked it. Hope you will like it too!

Potato gratin with fennel and saffron


Details
6 servings (we were five at the table and it was enough for two leftover servings to bring to work too)
Preparation: 15 min + up to 40 min in the oven

Ingredients
oil
0.25 g saffron (half a "Swedish package")
2½ dl semi-skimmed cream
3 dl semi-skimmed milk
1½-2 tsp salt (a little bit more than the original recipe)
1 kilo potatoes
1 fennel
½ tsp pepper
2 dl grated cheese


Instructions
1. Turn on the oven to 225'C

2. Peel and slice the onion and fry the together with oil and saffron. Pour in cream and milk and season.
3. Peel and slice the potatoes and the fennel (thinly). If you want you can fry the fennel a little bit with the onion earlier - that's supposed to enhance the taste of the fennel. Put everything in a pan, pour over the onion and cream "sauce" and finish with a layer of grated cheese.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Tip of the day! Goes very well with either fish or chicken - we had chicken. Also, I think it would be as nice without saffron if you don't like saffron or can't get your hands on some.
