2-1/2 lbs. potatoes, peeled & cut in half
8 cups milk
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups cream

Method
1. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with the milk and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, lower heat and cook 5-10 minutes.

2. Drain the potatoes and when cool enough to handle, cut into thin slices.

Preheat oven to 350?F.

3. Coat a baking dish with the butter. Arrange half of the potato slices in the dish and sprinkle with the salt. Top with gruyere. Add the remaining potatoes, more salt, and gruyere. Pour the cream over them and sprinkle with the nutmeg. Top with a think layer of gruyere.
