Ingredients

• 3 Pounds (lb) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 1 Cup heavy cream, divided
• 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
• 2 Cups Gruyère cheese, shredded, divided

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place potatoes, garlic, and salt into a large pot; fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer about half the potatoes into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4. Pour 1/2 of the cream over the potatoes and season with black pepper and nutmeg. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Gruyère cheese on top.
5. Layer the remaining potatoes on top and season with black pepper and nutmeg. Pour over the remaining cream and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyère cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden brown on top, about 1 hour.

Recipe Tip: Place some aluminum foil on the lower shelf in the oven in case the casserole spills over, or place the baking dish on a lipped pan.
