* Serves 8
== Ingredients ==
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
* 2½ pounds firm boiling potatoes
* 1½ cup grated, imported Swiss cheese
* 6 tablespoons butter, cut in ¼ inch bits
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
* 1¼ cups milk
== Directions ==
# Preheat the oven to 425°F.
# Rub the bottom and sides of a flameproof baking and serving dish, 10 to 12 inches across and 2 inches deep, with the crushed garlic, and grease lightly with butter.
# Peel the potatoes and cut into ⅛ inch slices (about 8 cups).
# Dry the potato slices with a paper towel, then spread half of the slices in the bottom of the dish.
# Sprinkle them with half the cheese, butter bits, salt and pepper.
# Spread the rest of the slices in the dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese, butter, salt and pepper on top.
# Slowly pour the milk into the side of the dish.
# Bring to a simmer over low heat, then place in the upper third of the oven; bake for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
# At this point, remove any residual liquid with a bulb baster and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender, the milk absorbed and the top nicely browned.
# Serve at once.
