A delightful twist on the classic potato gratin, this recipe combines creamy layers of potatoes with a cheesy crust for a comforting and flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into uniform 1/8-inch thick slices.
Uniform slices cook evenly and create a beautiful layered effect.
In a saucepan, combine the cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching.
Layer half of the potato slices in a greased baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Arrange the slices neatly for an appealing presentation.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.
Using freshly grated cheese enhances the flavor and melting quality.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
Check doneness by piercing the potatoes with a knife; they should be soft.
Let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Cooling slightly helps the dish set and makes serving easier.
