Thinly slice the raw potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add 3/4 of the cheese, season with a little salt, some pepper and some nutmeg. Mix together. Rub the gratin dish with the clove of garlic. Butter generously, sprinkle with a large tablespoon of grated cheese and add the potatoes. Pour the stock, barely covering the potatoes, cover with the remaining grated cheese and dot with butter. Bring to a boil on the stove then slowly bake in a hot oven (350 F). Cover with aluminum foil when the right color has been reached.

This delicious gratin has to cook very slowly. Serve with grilled meat, a roast or poultry and a red wine from Savoy.
