Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat oven to to 350.
2. Rub baking dish with garlic. Let dry, then rub with butter.
3. Combine potatoes, milk, s&p and nutmeg in saucepan. Bring to boil, cook and stir until thickens slightly, ~5 mins. Pour into dish. Press down on top layer to submerge potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese.
4. Bake until golden and potatoes are tender, ~45 mins to 1 hour.
Notes: Delicious - made it with half milk (skim that tastes like 2%) and half fat-free half-and-half. Tasted very rich, and in fact, you couldn't eat much of it at a time. Delicious. Also was able to make it ahead of time successfully - parbaked it, then finished it off in the oven before dinner.
A baking pan or a piece of aluminum foil is recommended for under the dish. It often spills over during baking.
