1 clove garlic, halved
2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. salt
2 lg. or 3 sm. eggs
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1/8 tsp. white pepper
2 c. Half and Half

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Rub side and bottom of shallow 1 1/2 quart round, oven proof dish with garlic. Grease with 1 teaspoon butter. Arrange half of potatoes in dish. Sprinkle with half of cheese. Put another layer of potatoes, use rest of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and cream and nutmeg until blended. Pour over potatoes, dot with butter. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until potatoes are bubbly and tender. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings. I parboil my potatoes for 5 minutes before putting them in the dish.
