nutmeg (the nutmeg on every other layer), potatoes, a little of garlic, etc etc.
Don't go to close to the edges of the dish, or it may over flow when cooking.

Finish by pouring the milk that it just covers the potatoes and top it all with Gruyère.
Bake in the oven at 380° for about 40 minutes, depending on the type of potatoes. So taste one slice along the way to make sure the gratin doesn't over cook.

Answer 5

Sounds tasty, yet you're able to have fared extra useful nutritionally with a salad or veggie instead of the cottage cheese, which made the meal protein-heavy. The pineapple could have been reliable on my own, or with the poultry... Cheesecake sounds reliable, yet too prosperous for me...oh..and did you have espresso? Please say there replaced into espresso for the dessert! i could provide you a pair of seven...yet once you cooked it FOR ME, a pair of sixteen!
