How To Make classic potato gratin

Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, and set aside.

Step 2Whisk together cream, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and the nutmeg in a small bowl, set aside. Toss potatoes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a large bowl.

Step 3Arrange 1/3 potatoes in buttered dish, overlapping slices. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat two more times with remaining potatoes and cheese (end with a cheese layer). Pour reserved cream mixture over top layers. Gently shake dish back and forth to distribute evenly.
