- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pinch of nutmeg

Preparation method:

- Add the potatoes:

- Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
- Finish in the oven:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve and decorate:
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Finish with fresh parsley or chopped chives for a special touch.
