Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate saucepan, heat the cream and milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish. Spread half of the sautéed mushrooms on top. Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the mushrooms and sprinkle with grated cheese. Repeat the layers.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
