Hello! I'm sorry but I don't know if I've understood correctly, you cook the potatoes with the mixture of milk, the cream, the bouquet of herbs, and the crushed garlic?? Don't you run out of liquid halfway through cooking? I've never done anything like this but I don't think it's too liquid to cook for so many minutes. Thank you. It looks really good :)
Hi Alicia, no I don't run out of liquid, there's a little bit left. You'll see how delicious they are. A hug and happy day
