Preparation:

Cooking: 60 minutes - For 6 People

1. Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into thin slices.
2. NB: do not wash them AFTER cutting them, because starch is necessary for a correct consistency! 
3. Place the milk, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and immerse the potatoes in it and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on their firmness.
4. Place the potatoes in a buttered dish, cover with cream, then arrange small patches of butter. Bake in a low oven (thermostat 6) for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Notes: A successful gratin is characterized by potatoes that have remained a little firm.
