Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients
2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/8 inch thick
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 425° .
Pour heavy cream into pan and add nutmeg if using. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few dashes of pepper and bring to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, remove from heat.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Spread over half of the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over half of the cheese. Add the rest of the potatoes and season again with salt and pepper.
Pour over cream sauce, cover and let simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. If you don’t own an oven safe skillet transfer to a 9 x 13” baking dish at this point.
Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
