- 2 1/4 lbs Yellow Finn potatoes
- 2 cup half-and-half
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- nutmeg
Prepare
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rub the smashed garlic clove around the inside of an 8x8x2-inch casserole dish, then let it dry. Reserve the remaining garlic. Rub 2 tablespoons unsalted butter around the inside of the dish, reserving the remaining butter.
-
Step 2.
Peel and thinly slice 2 1/4 pounds Yellow Finn or other waxy potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer to about 1/8-inch thickness.
-
Step 3.
In a medium saucepan, combine the reserved garlic, reserved butter, sliced potatoes, 2 cups half-and-half, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste, and a pinch of nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Shake the dish gently to distribute the potatoes evenly.
-
Step 5.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the liquid in the dish, until lightly browned and bubbly, about 1 hour.
-
Step 6.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
