Why I Love This Recipe

Best if two or more types of cheese are used in combination.

Can try other combinations of cheeses.

Potatoes should come only to ¾” from top of dish, or milk will boil over.

Keep it shallow so it bakes fast.

2 lb potatoes, sliced 1/8” thick into bowl of ice water
1 to 2 C boiling milk or cream
1/2 to 3/4 lb grated cheese (any combination of Swiss, Gruyere, Emmenthal, Mozzarella)

Salt
White pepper
Nutmeg
3 cloves minced garlic
1 clove uncut garlic

Use ovenproof gratin dishes, 1-½” to 2” deep.


Slice potatoes 1/8” thick into bowl of ice water.


Drain and dry potatoes.


Rub dish with garlic clove, then smear dish with butter
