2 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. heavy cream
3/4 c. milk
5 med. potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Melt butter in a medium-size heavy skillet. Add cream and milk. Heat, do not boil. Slip the potato slices into the hot cream, one at a time, until evenly distributed. The liquid should barely cover the potatoes. Season with half the salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the potatoes carefully. Season with remaining salt and pepper; simmer for 30 minutes more. Serves 4.
