This is the classic version of scalloped potatoes that makes the perfect side dish for any occasion. Start by rubbing a large glass baking dish with a clove of garlic. Then take 2 pounds of peeled, washed potatoes and slice them finely. Arrange them in several layers in the pan. Pour 1 cup boiling milk over the potatoes, along with 4 tablespoons butter and then season with salt and pepper. Cover with 1 cup grated Swiss cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 425 °F  for 45 minutes to an hour.
