Category: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Ready in 45 minutes

Ingredients

3/4 c MILK -- heated

Ground

2 c HEAVY CREAM -- heated

Salt

3 lb Waxy (white) POTATOES

4 tb Butter

5 lg Cloves of GARLIC -- pressed

WHITE PEPPER -- freshly

Nutmeg -- freshly ground


Directions

Combine Butter and Garlic. Rub inside surface of shallow heavy casserole (2 1/2 to 3 quart) with some of this mixture. Spread remaining butter and garlic on a fold of foil and place in the freezer until hard. As you use this, cut it into small chips. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8" thick slices. Wash these slices well to eliminate the starch and pat dry in a towel. Place the potato slices in the casserole in layers, lightly salting and peppering each layer and "dotting" each layer with the butter-garlic chips. Sprinkle intermittently with Nutmeg. Gently pour in the hot milk. Cover the casserole and place in preheated ( 350 degree ) oven for 30 to 40 minutes; until the milk is mostly absorbed. Remove from oven and pour hot cream over potatoes. Cover casserole again and return to oven, baking at 300 degrees until all of the cream is absorbed, ( 2 to 2 1/2 Hours.
