Are cake recipes allowed too?
Anyways, here's my favorite recipe:

Potato-Gratin
Ingredients:
1 kilogram potatoes
1/4 liter milk
1/4 liter cream
some garlic
1 teaspoon salt (I'm not sure about this one)
some pepper
grated Gouda cheese (you can use another kind if there is no Gouda available, just use a mild one)

Mix the milk and the cream together. Add salt (I'm not sure if it was 1 teaspoon or 1/2 teaspoon so add salt slowly and check), pepper and garlic. Mix well. Peel and slice the potatoes. Put one layer of slices on the bottom of a souffle (?) form. Scatter some cheese over the potatos. Pour some of the milk-cream mixture over it, then make a new layer of potatos. Repeat this until you have used up all the potatos, then scatter cheese (more than on the other layers) on the top layer and pour the rest of the mixture over the whole. Bake at ~170 degrees Celsius, bake covered (with aluminium foil if you havnt got a cover) for 50min, then remove the cover and bake for another 10min or until the top is a nice brown color. Enjoy!

As you see, this is the bare bones of a recipe. You can add herbs, spices, mushrooms, vegetables,... I also enjoy it with onions + ham, for instance. The possibilities are endless. Bon appetit!
