5 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 to 3 /2 pounds thin-skinned potatoes
  • 3 cups fat-skimmed chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup shredded gruyere, cheddar, or fontina cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick slices. Put the slices in a casserole (11- to 12-cup size, about 10 in. wide and 2 in. deep); shake to settle the potatoes down into the container.
  2. 2
    Mix the broth, ground nutmeg, and pepper. Pour the mixture over potatoes.
  3. 3
    Bake in a 425° oven until potatoes are very tender when pierced, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. As potatoes get dry on top, tilt casserole and spoon up some of the broth to baste them.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle potatoes evenly with cheese. Bake until it melts, about 3 minutes.
  5. 5
    Let casserole sit 5 to 10 minutes for most of the remaining juices to soak into potatoes, then serve.
