Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a saucepan, heat up the cream with the bay leaves, thyme, garlic, nutmeg and some salt and pepper.
- While the cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bay leaves and thyme. Pour the heated cream into a large bowl with the potato slices. Mix gently to coat the potatoes. Dust the Parmesan over the potatoes. Season the mix with a little bit of salt and pepper. Mix to gently incorporate. Spoon a little bit of the cream into the bottom of the casserole dish. Then spoon the potatoes in. Level out the potatoes for uniform cooking time. Pour the remaining cream at the bottom of the bowl over the top. Top with some Parmesan and fresh thyme leaves. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, but pull back one corner for the steam to escape.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until softened and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking 1 minute longer. Stir in the cream, broth and thyme, and season with the salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer the potatoes and cream to a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the potatoes. Bake until bubbly and the surface begins to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese, and flavorful meat stock.
- Don't overcrowd the gratin dish. Make sure there is enough room for the potatoes to cook evenly.
- Bake the gratin until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the gratin with a green salad or steamed vegetables.
