Rich and Creamy Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe

Recipe by: Celeste

"These are the easiest, creamiest potatoes au gratin I have ever had... YUM!"

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2Place potatoes, garlic, and salt into a large pot, fill with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer the potatoes until tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer about half the potatoes to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3Pour half of the cream over the potatoes, season with black pepper and nutmeg, and sprinkle half of the Gruyere cheese onto the mixture. Top with the remaining potatoes; sprinkle again with black pepper and nutmeg. Pour on the remaining cream, and sprinkle with remaining Gruyere cheese.
4Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is crisp and brown on top, about 1 hour.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
You might want to put some foil on the lower shelf in the oven in case it spills over, or cook on lipped pan.
Tip
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
