Ingredients

HEAT:

LAYER:

For the best flavor, look for fontina from the Aosta valley in Italy. Those from other countries (recognizable by the red wax rind) are much milder.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with butter.

Heat cream, milk, sage, and garlic in a saucepan to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and simmer cream mixture 10 minutes.

Layer half the potatoes in prepared dish; season with salt and pepper. Pour half the cream mixture over potatoes; top with half each fontina, Parmesan, and butter. Repeat layering, then cover dish with foil.

Bake potatoes 50 minutes; remove foil and continue baking until cheese is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Let potatoes rest 10 minutes before serving.

Statistics

  • Average: 5.00
  • Standardized Average: 5.00
    This is the average rating for this recipe, relative to the average rating of all of the recipes on this site. The average rating of all the recipes on this site is 73.15. If we pin the population average to 3 (define 3 as the new 73.15) and adjust this particular recipe's average accordingly, we see that, relative to a population average of 3, this recipe's adjusted standardized average is 5.00. This number is useful in that it accounts for how different people have different interpretations of the rating system.
  • Median: 5
    This is the rating that is in the middle of the ratings distribution. It is generally more indicative of how much you will actually like this recipe than the average because the average is subject to being skewed by outliers.
  • Mode: 5
    This is the most common rating that people have given this recipe.
  • Standard Deviation: None
    This is a measure of how polarizing the recipe is; how much people disagree about it.
    0 is the least polarizing; everyone agrees on the rating.
    2.5 is the most polarizing.
    Recipes with lower standard deviations in the ratings are better for people who don't want surprises. Higher standard deviations are good for adventurous cooks. There is no standard deviation for this recipe because it has fewer than 2 ratings so far.
Delicious potato recipe! Easy to make and tasted delicious. The fontina cheese really adds a little something.
