Ingredients

3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter.
In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, garlic, onion, flour, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium-high heat. When the broth is hot, add the coated potato mixture and stir to combine. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not fully cooked.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the top of the gratin with the parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from oven and serve warm.
