SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN

 This recipe always turns out nice and creamy.  It works great as a side dish with pork.

Ingredients:
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon of thyme
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • butter
  • 2 pounds of russet potatoes
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan - plus more for broiling
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.

While cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
