Instructions
Peel, wash and dry the potatoes and slice them thinly (mandoline or knife).
Butter a shallow gratin dish and lay in half of the potato slices. Salt and pepper them and spread the pressed garlic over them. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the butter in flakes.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Cover with the remaining potatoes and season again.
Stir the milk with the cream, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and pour over the potatoes. Bake covered (aluminium foil) on the middle rack.
After 50 minutes sprinkle the gratin with the rest of the cheese and butter flakes and bake uncovered at 220 °C for about 20 minutes. Check with a fork that the potatoes are done and serve in the dish.
