Potatoes Scalloped with Gruyère Cheese

Wonderful flavor and aroma.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. red potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• Salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1.5 cups (6 oz.) grated Gruyère Cheese
  (Either Natural Gruyère or Processed Gruyère cheese may be used. Natural Gruyère results in a richer dish.)
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1.5 cups beef broth

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place half of the sliced potatoes in a greased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; dot with butter. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat layers, reserving a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the cheese and dot with reserved butter.
Pour beef broth into the dish without moistening the bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees F for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is crusty and golden.
