Watch the temperature of your skillet, leave it on a low to a low-medium setting, you do not want the garlic to brown.
Cook potatoes for about 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper potato slices in skillet, stir thoroughly, you want to coat the potatoes with the butter. After about 15 minutes, add 1-quart heavy cream, and add the 1 cup of shredded Emmentaler cheese.

Allow potatoes to cook for approximately 45 minutes or until the top has become golden brown. I hope you enjoy my recipe for lyonnaise potatoes, I love to make these for the holidays.
