Scalloped Potatoes

Rich Scalloped Potato Gratin

 

Ingredients:

 

3 cups heavy cream

2-3 springs fresh thyme or rosemary

6 cloves chopped garlic

1 teaspoon nutmeg

Butter for greasing pan

4-5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin

Salt and freshly ground pepper

4 cups grated Parmesan Cheese

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a saucepan, heat the cream with herb sprigs, chopped garlic and nutmeg. Butter large baking pan (I use my smaller roaster). Layer with slightly overlapping sliced potatoes, salt and pepper lightly, 1/3 of the heated cream (herbs removed) and 1 cup of cheese. Repeat 2 more times. Bake for 1 hour or until fork tender. Top with additional cup of cheese and bake or  broil for and additional 5-10 minutes.
