Julia Child's Potato Dauphinois Gratin (Potato Bake)

"Of all the ways to cook potato, this is my absolute favourite. Potato + cream + cheese with a hint of garlic and thyme created by the French = pure heaven. This recipe is based on Julia Child's recipe, the queen of French Cooking. The original recipe calls for gruyere cheese which is quite expensive here in Australia so I usually substitute with tasty or cheddar, or any other great melting cheese...."

½ clove unpeeled garlic
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1½ cups grated gruyere cheese (or tasty or cheddar)
