tips

The tips of Benoît Witz

Do it in order

You have to rub the dish with the garlic before buttering it
and soften the butter
in advance to spread it easily.

To do quickly

Potatoes should boil
very quickly in the milk-cream mixture: they thus release starch
without drinking too much liquid.

Make clean

Leave the broiler pan in
the oven under the dish during cooking to collect
the surplus of cream milk.
