2 pounds potatoes ((preferably Yukon Gold, others work well too))
1 quart heavy cream
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (Emmentaler)
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and peel potatoes. Slice potatoes very thin, slice to about 1/4 inch thickness. In a large skillet, melt butter, add sliced garlic and lay potatoes into the warmed skillet. Watch the temperature of your skillet, leave it on a low to a low-medium setting, you do not want the garlic to brown.
Cook potatoes for about 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper potato slices in skillet, stir thoroughly, you want to coat the potatoes with the butter. After about 15 minutes, add 1-quart heavy cream, and add the 1 cup of shredded Emmentaler cheese. Bring the cream and potatoes to a boil, once this mixture has reached a boil, take off of the stove, and place into the oven.
Allow potatoes to cook for approximately 45 minutes or until the top has become golden brown. I hope you enjoy my recipe for lyonnaise potatoes, I love to make these for the holidays.
