Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, followed by half of the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, and nutmeg (if using). Heat over medium heat until just simmering.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potato layer, then repeat with the remaining ingredients.
