keeping warm

It has been unusually cold here over the past few days and I'm keeping warm the best ways I know how.  Piling on the hand knits and keeping a steady stream of comfort food coming from the kitchen.

These scalloped potatoes are one of my favorite go-to dishes.  Warm, filling, and simple.  Just as it should be.

Creamy Scalloped Potatoes
4 smallish Idaho or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
1.5 - 2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
1/2 stick butter
3 cloves garlic
dash nutmeg
salt & pepper to taste

Melt the butter, saute the garlic, then add milk/cream.  Bring to boil and let simmer for a few minutes. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper to milk.  Arrange potato slices in a buttered baking dish and cover with milk mixture.  Bake at 400* for roughly 45 minutes.
