Preparation: 30 min. baking time: 1 hour

4 servings

2 ½ lbs of gold potatoes

2 ½ cups heavy cream

5 ¼ shredded Swiss cheese

Salt and pepper

1 big pinch of nutmeg

1 garlic clove

1 tsp butter

Peel the potatoes and slice them thin (using a mandoline or a food processor). Put them in a big bowl and cover with cold water. Let stand 10 minutes. Strain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towel.

In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream with ¾ of the shredded cheese. Season the preparation with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Rub a baking dish with the garlic clove. Butter the dish. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish and cover with some cream and cheese. Repeat this operation twice. Spread the rest of the cheese on top of the preparation.

 Bake for an hour or until the potatoes are melting and the cheese turns golden brown. You can cover the gratin with aluminum foil if browning too fast.

Bon Appétit!
