How To Make creamy parmesan potatoes au gratin

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 9-inch pie dish well. I used a deep dish.
  • 2
    Peel and slice potatoes; rinse with cold water. Cover potatoes with cold water while preparing other ingredients.
  • 3
    Combine cream, butter, garlic, thyme and nutmeg in sauce pan. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat.
  • 4
    Meanwhile layer potatoes in pie plate. With each layer, salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. I made 2 layers. When cream is hot (but not boiling) pour over the potatoes. Dab soft butter on top.
  • 5
    Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional Parmesan and put under broiler long enough to lightly brown.
