Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine double cream, milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaf, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to fully incorporate, then simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Carefully peel and wash the floury potatoes. Slice into ⅛ inch thick rounds using a mandolin or sharp knife.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced potatoes and pour the cooled cream mixture over them. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
  4. Grease a baking dish with softened butter and layer the coated potatoes. Overlap slices slightly and season each layer with salt and pepper.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
