A more French take on scalloped potatoes from the Rhone-Alpes region. Originally Beaufort cheese was used, but it is difficult to find. Gruyere is a good substitute.

In a bowl, mix the cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over potatoes. Dot 1/2 of the remaining butter on top of cheese.
