Pommes Duchesse Gratin

1. 1

   Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Prick each potato a few times, then bake in a shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, halve and scoop out flesh. Force flesh through ricer or food mill into a bowl.

4. 4

   Heat cream with butter and garlic in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat until hot, then stir into potatoes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time with a fork until blended, then stir in salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Spoon mixture into a buttered 2-quart (10-inch) round or oval shallow gratin or casserole dish. Bake until top is puffed and golden, 30 to 40 minutes.
