Ingredients:

1 tsp butter (or margarine)....Go ahead and splurge, use butter

1 large garlic clove, peeled

1 cup whipping cream (not 2%, not half & half, and for goodness sakes, not skim)

1/3 cup milk ( not skim)

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground pepper

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8" slices

1 cup coarsely shredded Gruyere cheese (not low fat)

1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (don't you dare use low fat)
 
 

2. Lightly butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish

3. Lightly crush garlic with side of knife.  Heat cream, milk, garlic, salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edge.  Remove from heat and let stand 10 min.

4. Arrange half the potatoes in overlapping slices along the bottom the prepared dish.  Pour half the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with half the cheese.  Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese. 

5.  Bake 60-70 minutes until top is a deep brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
