  • Divide potatoes into 3 equal portions.
  • Pour approximately 1/4 cup cream into bottom of the baking dish.
  • Lay 1/3 of the sliced potatoes evenly in rows on top of the cream.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 of the Gruyere on top of the potato slices.
  • Pour 1/3 of cream over this and grind a little pepper and nutmeg over top.
  • Repeat this process until all of the potatoes, cream and Gruyere cheese are used up.
  • You will have 3 layers.
