Carrot Gratin

Preheat oven to 400F.

Combine carrots, potato, onion, garlic, half-and-half, cream, nutmeg and salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss well to combine.

Transfer to a 6-cup casserole or other ovenproof baking dish. Top carrot mixture with fresh thyme. Cover with a tight fitting lid or aluminum foil.

Bake about 1 hour, or until liquid is absorbed. Remove lid and continue baking 10 minute to allow the gratin to brown. Gratin is done when the liquid has been absorbed and the top is a golden color.

Let stand 10 to 30 minutes and remove thyme sprigs before serving.
