Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• Pour the milk and cream into a small saucepan. Add the garlic, rosemary, and nutmeg. Bring just to a simmer, cover, and remove from the heat. Set aside to infuse for at least 20 minutes. Combine the Swiss cheese and Parmigiano in a bowl.
• Peel the potatoes and, using a mandoline or your sharpest knife, slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Arrange about one-third of the potatoes in a single overlapping layer in the baking dish, season with kosher salt and white pepper, and top with one-third of the Swiss-Parmigiano mix. Scatter over half of the goat cheese. Add a second overlapping layer of potatoes, more salt and white pepper, another third of the Swiss- Parmigiano mix, and the remaining goat cheese. Make a third layer with the remaining potatoes and season with salt and white pepper. Press down lightly to compact the layer
• Remove the garlic and rosemary from the infused cream, and discard them. Set the cream over medium-high heat and watch carefully until it just begins to simmer; don't let it boil. Pour the cream over the potatoes and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
• Set the baking dish on the foillined baking sheet, and bake until the top is deeply brown and the potatoes are completely tender when poked with a skewer, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

3 CHEESE AU GRATIN POTATOES WITH BACON

Steps:

• PREHEAT OVEN AT 400F.
• Slice potatoes and put them in water. (I slice them with a slicer because if you cut them by hand, OBVIOUSLY they will be way too thick when you layer them!).
• Melt butter in a LARGE saucepan and add heavy cream, the parsley, garlic powder and onion powder. Bring to a SOFT boil.
• When (soft) boiling, TURN OFF. Add sliced potatoes and let them sit for 10-15 minutes (this is to let it cook a little bit to cut off the oven time!).
• In a BUTTERED lasagna pan, make one thin layer of potatoes. Then add a layer of grated parmesan cheese, mozzerella, asiago and the crumbled bacon, and evenly disburse ONE LADLE of the cream on top of the potatoes. Continue this step until you reach 1 inch from the top of the pan.
• POUR the cream inside the pan, enough to cover the potatoes.
• Top with a little more cheese and COVER, but leave one side OPEN to let the steam vent.
• after 35 minutes, check the potatoes. If they are not soft yet, continue again for 15 more minutes.
• UNCOVER then cook another 15 minutes.
• Let stand and the sauce will thicken.

Arrange half of the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour half of the heavy cream over. Sprinkle one cup of Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes, garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with the slices of provolone cheese. Season again with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, then sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top. This will create a semi-hard cheese crust. Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.
