Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
0.75 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

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, combine potatoes, garlic, and salt. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but still firm. Use a slotted spoon to transfer half of the potatoes to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour half of the cream evenly over the potatoes. Season with black pepper and nutmeg, then sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese on top. Layer the remaining potatoes over the cheese and season again with black pepper and nutmeg. Pour the remaining cream over the top and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyère cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
