Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes and slice them 3 mm thin, with a mandoline or a steady knife. Do not rinse the slices — their starch will thicken the cream.

  2. 2

    Bring the cream, milk, halved garlic cloves, salt, pepper and a grating of nutmeg to a bare simmer, then take off the heat and let it infuse for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Rub a baking dish with the garlic cloves fished out of the cream, then butter it generously.
