Peel and cut 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of potatoes into 2.5 mm (1/8 inch) thick slices using a mandoline.
Place 500 ml (2 cups) of milk or cream in a pot. Add 2 flat teaspoons of salt, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Bring to boil.
Add the slices potatoes and simmer until cooked half way, about 10 minutes.
Thinly slice 2-3 garlic cloves and mix with the potatoes.
Transfer the potatoes, garlic and milk to a buttered deep baking dish (20 x 30 cm). Arrange the potatoes evenly. Sprinkle 100 grams (3.5 oz) of grated parmesan cheese and dot with 50 grams (2 oz) of cubed butter.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Potatoes are used in so many recipes, and in a wide range of cuisines. In Italy gnocchi is a staple dish, American potato salad is a national favorite, and Uzbeks make manti (steamed dumplings with meat and potato).
