It's a recipe from a local restaurant that I got in a newsletter years ago. I'll give you my slightly modified version:

5 lbs potatoes

4 cups 40% cream /w/ milk to thin (cooks off)

1-1.5 heads of fresh garlic (not the stuff in jars!)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp white pepper (black pepper works too, but makes black specks in the sauce!)

Gruyere swiss cheese


Peel (optional I suppose) and slice up the potatoes into chunk slices about 1/4 inch thick. Peel and mince the garlic, and I pare that little green plant out of the middle of each clove (A PITA, but it's kinda fun too!)

In a large pot, put the potato pieces, the cream, the garlic and the salt and pepper and bring to a gentle boil for about 10-15 mins. Thin with a little milk to make it easy to stir.

Then pour into a shallow baking pan like a lasagna pan, and grate Gruyere cheese on top. Bake at 350F for 40 mins or into until the Gruyere gets light golden brown.

Let sit for 30 mins after baking, and enjoy!

John, while am glad that we both seem to be able to both participate in this NG, and be civil, I do not, and would never have anything to do with you on any personal level. Ever. Nothing more needs to be, or should be said except enjoy your potatoes.

You could actually *plant* those sprouting cloves in a pot and grow your
own garlic.

Congratulations. You made potatoes au gratin with garlic.

Please don't resort to begging. I'm sure if Bryan wanted to contact you
he would.

He can thank the overloaded garlic potatoes for having no job. And the
fact that he's computer illiterate when it comes to coding in medications.
