Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ 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

Directions

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

Tips

You might want to put some foil on the lower shelf in the oven in case the casserole spills over, or place the baking dish on a lipped pan.
