Gratin Dauphinois(Potatoes "Au Gratin")  

Ingredients:
- 5 lb. potatoes
- 1 qt. milk
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. sour cream
- grated nutmeg
- salt to taste
- bread crumbs
- grated Swiss cheese

Directions:
- My father was Puerto Rican and Cuban.
- My mother is German and Irish.
- When they got married, my mother got my Cuban grandmother's recipe for Spanish rice.
- Being a picky eater herself and having 4 kids, my mom distilled the recipe down to a mild version without all the "slimy" things in it that most kids won't eat.
- I jokingly call it my mother's Irish Spanish rice!
- Each year on Three King's Day (January 6), I bring this rice in for my children's classes.
