• 1 1. preheat your oven to 350°. place a 12â€? cast iron skillet or other large deep heavy sauté pan in the oven to preheat. lightly oil a towel or folded paper towel with vegetable oil and evenly rub the hot pan, lightly coating it with oil just before using. you may also use a standard baking pan lined with parchment paper.
• 2 2. meanwhile grate the potatoes into a large saucepan, large enough to hold them and the cream. add the cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a simmer. this preheating step dramatically speeds up the oven time and evenly heats the potatoes. stir in the cheese and then pour into the preheated pan. bake for 45-60 minutes, until the pie has a deep golden brown crust. loosen edges with a paring knife and invert onto a serving platter while still warm.
