Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes

I found this on Heather Whites blog (www.heatherdwhite.typepad.com) and had to try it!
I made them for Easter dinner and they turned out really good!

Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes

1 tsp butter or margarine, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 medium potatoes
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Grease a shallow 1 1/2 qt. baking dish with butter (I just sprayed mine with PAM); set aside. In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, salt, pepper and garlic. Cook just until bubbles begin to form around sides of pan. Remove from heat; cool for 10 minutes.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (I used red potatoes and just washed them and left the peels on, it was so easy!); pat dry with paper towels. Layer half of the potatoes in prepared baking dish; top with half of the cream mixture and half of the cheeses. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. ENJOY!!!
