Serves 6-8
| 2 lbs red potatoes (6-8 large) | 2 c. heavy cream | |
| 3 c. grated Swiss Gruyère cheese | freshly ground pepper | |
| ground nutmeg to taste | ½ grated Parmesan cheese |
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 12″ baking pan.
2. Scrub potatoes well & blot them dry, leaving peel on. Slice them very thinly & divide into 3 equal portions. Pour about ¼ c. of the cream into the bottom of the pan. Lay 1/3 of the potatoes evenly in rows on top of the cream. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Gruyére on top of the potato slices. Pour 1/3 of the cream over this Grind a little pepper & nutmeg over top. Repeat the process until all ingredients (Save for the parmesan) are used up. You will have 3 layers.
3. Top it off by sprinkling parmesan evenly over the top of the dish. Cover with foil & bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil & bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is browned & potatoes tender (Cooking time will vary depending on oven).
