Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice them (approximately 1/8-inch thick).

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the chives. Set both aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is heated through (do not let it boil).

Step 5

Arrange a single layer of potato slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping each slice.

Step 6

Spoon a small amount of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with a portion of the chopped chives and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Repeat layering the potatoes, cream mixture, chives, and Parmesan until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender (a knife should slide through easily).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.
