Slice potatoes thinly and set aside.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Gradually whisk in heavy cream and milk, cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish.

Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with cheese.

Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
