These au gratin potatoes are not for dieters! This recipe will feed two gourmands or four gourmets.

Preheat oven to 350F.

3 peeled baking medium potatoes
1 small thinly sliced onion
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 pint heavy whipping cream
freshly grated nutmeg
salt and pepper

Thinly slice potatoes and onions with a mandolin. In a oven-proof casserole layer in an attractive circular pattern the potatoes, onions, salt and pepper, nutmeg then cheese. Repeat until the potatoes and onions are used and cheese covers the top. Carefully pour cream all over layered ingredients, pushing some of the potatoes aside with a knife, so that cream filters down around all the layers. Bake at 350F for one hour or until a knife can be inserted easily into the middle of the casserole. Consider putting foil on the bottom of the oven to catch overflows.

This is a decadent dish. Bon appetit!
