Peel, slice, and wash potatoes. Place them in a pot and cover them with
cold milk. Bring them to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel the garlic clove and rub it well all over the bottom and
sides of a 1 quart baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Gently transfer the potato slices to the baking dish, layering as you go.
Season each layer with salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Do not discard
the milk.

Beat the eggs with the cooled milk and half of the grated cheese and pour
over the potatoes. Cover with the remaining cheese. Bake for 45 minutes, or
until the top is golden.
