Rub 1-1/2-quart shallow baking dish with garlic, then
generously butter dish.
Slice potatoes about 1/4 inch thick. Do not soak in water as
this removes the starch needed to hold slices together.
Bring milk to boil in a large saucepan. Add potato slices.
Boil 15 minutes or until partly tender. Drain, discard milk.
Return potatoes to saucepan.
Add cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes until potatoes are
tender but not falling apart.
Preheat broiler. Mixture should be very moist. Taste for
seasoning.
Spoon into prepared baking dish.
Broil warm potatoes until golden brown.
Serve in baking dish.
