How to Make Parade Potato Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch au gratin dish (or equivalent Le Creuset).
  4. Thinly slice about 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared dish, overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cream mixture. Pour any remaining sauce over the top. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender.
