Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon butter
1 clove garlic, peeled and split in half
3 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

This gratin is delicious, but it is very rich. I would recommend serving it with a green salad or a light soup.

I'm not a big fan of Gruyère cheese, so I used a combination of cheddar and Parmesan instead. It was still really good!

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I added some chopped bacon and chives, and it was delicious.

Amazing! This is the best potato gratin I've ever had. The cheese was perfectly melted and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again and again.

The gratin was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the potatoes.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This creamy potato gratin with Gruyère cheese was an absolute delight! The potatoes were cooked to perfection, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I loved the crispy top layer. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
