Potatoes Parisian is one of the most elegant (and simplest) ways to prepare potatoes. This versatile starch side goes with almost any entree. Bon appetit!

3 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (2 ounces)
Ground nutmeg

Place the sliced potatoes in a buttered 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour the whipping cream over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt. Bake, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and most of the cream is absorbed. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and nutmeg during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
