simple and incredibly delicious

Peel the raw potatoes and cut them into slices about 2 mm thick. Arrange them in a buttered baking dish to a thickness of about 4 cm. Mix the egg, egg yolk, milk, and cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper (in my experience, you need more salt than you think). Grate the nutmeg over them. Grate the Gruyère and stir it into the sauce. Finely chop or press the garlic and spread it on the potatoes. Pour the sauce over the potatoes until it appears between the potatoes but does not cover them. Top with a few pieces of butter and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 50 minutes. The dish is ready when the cheese is golden brown. A simple recipe with a big impact. It’s best to use organic potatoes.
