Potato Green Chile Gratin image

This one comes from a great vegetarian cook, Deborah Madison, and she's outdone herself with this dish. Very few ingredients, but a complexity of flavor. There's never any left, no matter how few or how many you are feeding. You can make it the day before, refrigerate it and simply reheat, covered at 350, after it has come to...

Arrange 1/4 of the potatoes evenly in the bottom of a well buttered 2 quart shallow baking dish, overlapping them slightly, and sprinkle with salt and 1/4 of the chiles. Make 3 more layers in the same manner. Remove garlic from the cream and pour cream over potatoes.
