Potato Gratin With Cream and Fresh Herbs image

From Bon Appetit, 4/2000, Patrick Corrigan of Santa Monica, CA. This is a fantastic side dish to serve with roasted meat, prime rib, ham...very rich but worth every calorie. The first time we tried it we had roasted duck with it and it was fantastic...rich but didn't overpower the main meat course. Very easy to prepare as well.
