Preparation

In a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic in butter until tender about 5 min. Reserve.

Meanwhile, peel potatoes and grate into shreds. Rinse shreds with cold water and drain well. Combine potatoes with cooked onion mixture, Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add milk, cream and parsley.

Place mixture in a 12-cup (3 L) buttered baking dish or casserole. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 400 °F (200 °C) oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

Allow to rest 10 min before serving.

Tips

For a very smooth and creamy texture use 35 % cream and bake the full 1 1/4 hours.
