Ingredients:

Serving

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese (or swiss)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/8 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick (4-5 medium)
