FRENCH POTATO GRATIN 
10 med. potatoes, about 2 lbs.
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Dash black pepper
Dash nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 c. whipping cream
1/3 c. milk

Peel and slice potatoes thinly. Use a food processor if available. Lightly grease an ovenproof casserole. Layer potato slices in casserole sprinkling each layer with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Press garlic over mixture. Add cream and milk. You may prepare ahead of time up to this step.

Bake at 400 for about 40 minutes or until potatoes are soft and creamy and golden brown on surface. Good served with any roasted meat, poultry or broiled fish.

Tips: Omit milk and use 1 1/2 cups half and half instead of whipping cream for a leaner gratin.
