Instructions: Butter the bottom and sides of a 8" x 13" (or so) gratin dish. Make one layer of potatoes in a spiral design, using about a third of the potatoes, at the bottom of the dish. Mash 1 T. butter with cheese and stir in 1/2 c. of the milk. Pour a third of the cheese mixture over the potato layer.

Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Repeat, making two additional layers. On the top layer, scatter the remaining tablespoon of butter, cut into bits.

Pour remaining milk over all. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until top is golden and milk is absorbed.
