Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into ⅛-inch-thick slices. Place them in a pot with the milk, cream, nutmeg, mustard, and salt and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C. Cut the clove of garlic in half and rub the cut sides around the inside of a 3 quart baking dish, then smear the butter around the inside of the dish.
- Pour the potato and cream mixture into the dish and spread the potatoes out evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkling of chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Although you may use a mandoline to evenly slice these potatoes, if you have good knife skills a sharp knife will get the job done.
- If you choose to add cheese, top with about ⅔ cup grated Gruyere cheese right before baking.
- This recipe uses kosher salt (aka cooking salt, kitchen salt, coarse salt outside of the US). If you are using table salt, definitely scale down the salt as that is a saltier type of salt! The type of salt will make a big difference in how salty your food tastes, so keep that in mind.
