By zboni

Ingredients

• • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• • 1 sprig fresh thyme
• • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• • Butter
• • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
• • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
While cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
