I melt the grated cheese into the white sauce "roux" then pour it over the
potato mixture in a lightly buttered casserole dish. I've never used nutmeg
in this. Salt & pepper, yes. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs (gasp) on top with
the extra grated cheese and for colour add a sprinkling of ground paprika.
Pop it in the oven and bake at about 325F for 40-45 minutes.
