Potato Gratin

• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups finely sliced leeks, white part only
• 1 tablespoon roasted garlic puree (see note)
• 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves
• Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
• Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut, crosswise, into 1/8-inch-thick slices

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Combine the milk and cream with the leeks, garlic puree, rosemary, and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add salt and white pepper and bring to a simmer.
4. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the butter, remove from the pan from the heat, and keep warm.
5. Using the remaining butter, generously coat the interior of an 11-by-7-by-2- inch baking pan.
6. Set aside.
7. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
8. Using about half of the potatoes, cover the bottom of the prepared pan with a layer of slightly overlapping potato slices.
9. Pour half of the milk mixture over the potatoes.
10. Make another layer with the remaining potatoes and cover it with the remaining milk mixture.
11. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the tip of a small, sharp knife is easily inserted into the center.
