Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rub the bottom of a 8-inch non-stick saute pan with the clove of garlic. Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream in the saute pan and place over high heat. Season the cream with a little nutmeg, salt and pepper. Slice the potato in 1/4-inch thick circles. As you slice, add them to the heating cream in even layers. Once all of the potatoes have been added to the bubbling cream, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes, then pour the remaining heavy cream over the top. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Once baked and all brown on top, remove from the oven and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Cut in 4 pie shaped pieces and serve 2 wedges per person.

Steps:

• Rub an oval gratin dish or rectangular (14 x 8 inches) 2 quart gratin dish with garlic. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Slice the potatoes into slices only 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick. You'll build up 3 layers in the gratin dish. Overlap the potato slices for the first layer and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/2 of the cheese. Drizzle some cream over the top and dot with 1 tablespoons of butter. Repeat with more potatoes, cheese, cream and salt and pepper and butter. Repeat with last layer, keeping it free of cheese but dotted with butter. Pour chicken broth over the top and bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting the potatoes, in the middle of baking time, with liquid accumulated in the bottom of the gratin dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cream and milk to a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the nutmeg, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes on a mandoline to 1/8-inch thick. Place the potatoes in the warm cream mixture and simmer gently until the potatoes are two-thirds of the way cooked and the cream has thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Place a 9-by-12-inch flameproof gratin dish on the stove over low heat. Brush the bottom and the sides with the melted butter. Spread the garlic around the bottom of the dish. Cook just long enough to toast the garlic in the butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a layer of the potato mixture. Combine the Gruyere and Parmesan in a bowl, then sprinkle a third of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layering 2 more times, finishing with the remaining cheese. Pick the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the top, mixing with last layer of cheese. Place the gratin dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until bubbly and golden, 45 to 50 minutes (see Cook's Note).

Steps:

• Wash the potato slices well and dry them on a towel. Pour a thin layer of heavy cream on the bottom of a 9" by 12" baking dish and alternate layers of potatoes and cheese.Top with cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with foil and place in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350°F. until the potatoes are just tender. If all the cream has been absorbed, add more. Remove from pan of water, take off foil and replace in the oven to brown lightly. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese and brown again. This is delicious served with baby lamb.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a medium casserole dish.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.
