Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Wash, peel (optional), and thinly slice the potatoes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Grease Baking Dish:
   • Butter the baking dish to prevent sticking.
4. Layer Potatoes:
   • Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping.
5. Add Reblochon Slices:
   • Place slices of Reblochon cheese evenly over the layer of potatoes.
6. Season and Repeat:
   • Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Repeat the layers until all potatoes and Reblochon are used.
7. Finish with Cheese:
   • Top the final layer with additional Reblochon slices for a cheesy, golden crust.
8. Pour Heavy Cream:
   • Pour heavy cream over the layers, ensuring it seeps through the potatoes and cheese.
9. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
10. Rest Before Serving:
    • Allow the Reblochon Potato Gratin to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps set the layers.
11. Serve Warm:
    • Scoop out portions of this creamy, cheesy delight and serve warm as a side dish or a comforting main course.
