POTATO GRUYERE AU GRATIN
I got this recipe from a friend at work. Its rich and delicious. I like it so much better than other potato au gratin recipes. I leave the peels on the potatoes but, of course that is your choice.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook sliced potatoes in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain. Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes in a well buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with second 1/3 of potatoes, second 1/3 of cheese, salt and pepper. Add a top layer of potatoes. Set casserole aside.
- 2. Stir together milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Heat just until mixture barely begins to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in nutmeg. Pour over potato mixture in casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- 3. Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned. Garnish with chopped onion and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, which hold their shape well and become tender when baked.
- Slice Potatoes Thinly: Aim for even slices about 1/8-inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and create a creamy texture.
- Layer Potatoes and Cheese Evenly: Create even layers of potatoes and cheese to ensure each bite has a balance of flavors and textures.
- Use High-Quality Gruyère Cheese: Opt for a good quality Gruyère cheese that melts well and has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
- Season Wisely: Don't overpower the delicate flavors of potatoes and cheese with too much seasoning. Garlic, nutmeg, and black pepper are classic choices.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the gratin while baking. The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy, while the center should be creamy and tender.
