Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 lb russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)

Instructions
-
Step1Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In 2-quart saucepan, heat heavy cream, garlic, 1 tablespoon thyme leaves, the salt, pepper and nutmeg just to simmering over medium heat. Remove from heat.

Cover; let stand 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover; let stand 10 minutes longer to allow mixture to thicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon thyme leaves just before serving.
