Ingredients

  • 1 medium sized potato, thinly sliced
  • 1 scallion/spring onion, chopped
  • 1/2 large parsnip, thinly sliced
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1/2-1 cup heavy cream 4-8oz
  • 1 cup freshly grated jarlsberg
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/175C

  2. Thinly slice the potato and parsnip. Grate the jarlsberg and remove the thyme leaves from the stems.

  3. In the ramekins, layer the potatoes in the bottom and add the parsnips, scallions/green and thyme. Pour a bit of cream over the layer and season with some sea salt and pepper. Grate the jarlsberg cheese over until it covers the layer. Repeat this until it is near the top. Finish with a layer of potato and cover with the cheese.

  4. Place the ramekins onto a baking sheet and cover with tin foil. Bake for about an hour. Test with a knife to make sure the potatoes are soft. Bake uncovered until the cheese is golden brown. Serve immediately.
