Creamy Potatoes au Gratin
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream, divided
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • freshly grated nutmeg to taste
  • 2 cups freshly shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high heat setting of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Fill a large container with potatoes, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt; add enough water to completely submerge the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat to a moderate level and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender but still retain some firmness, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
3
Use a straining device to transfer roughly half of the cooked potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4
Pour half of the available cream over the potatoes and add a few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg; sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese on top.
5
Add a layer of the remaining potatoes on top and season with black pepper and nutmeg to taste.
6
Pour over the remaining cream and sprinkle with the rest of the Gruyère cheese.
7
Bake in your preheated oven until the top layer of cheese is a golden brown color, approximately 1 hour.
