ingredients

3 large baking potatoes, peeled
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₈ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₂ cup shredded swiss cheese or 1/2 cup jarlsberg cheese
1 ¹⁄₂ cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

directions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Slice the potatoes thinly and rinse with cold water to prevent browning.
Crush the garlic and work it into the butter.
Spread over the bottom and sides of a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole or gratin dish.
Arrange potato slices neatly in overlapping rows in the buttered casserole.
Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and half the cheese.
In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half to boiling; pour over the potato mixture in the casserole; sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are browned and very tender.
