Scalloped Potatoes with Cheese

1 cup milk

1 cup half-and-half

1 large garlic clove

1 cup Gruyere

2 ½ lbs. baking potatoes

Grated nutmeg

Ground white pepper

 

Combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup half-and-half, 1 large garlic clove, white pepper, and

freshly grated nutmeg in a pan over moderate heat.   Just heat until hot. 

Slice 2 ½ pounds of baking potatoes (Do not peel!), pat them dry and layer them

in a buttered baking dish.  I put a little cheese in the middle.   Pour

the milk mixture over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the Gruyere. Bake at 400 for 1 hour.
