Notes The addition of fresh thyme is noted as optional, but it is a wonderful fresh note to add to this rich dish. A pinch of some freshly grated nutmeg is also a personal favorite. If you have a lid or will be covering the potatoes with a sheet of aluminum foil that will stick to the top layer of cheese, hold off on adding the last ⅓ portion of the cheese until the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
