Ingredients:  
2 1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Directions:
Directions:
Blanch potatoes in a large pot with onion slice for 5-10 minutes (I always do 10 minutes because of high altitude). While potatoes are cooking, rub cut end of garlic clove over bottom and sides of baking dish. Coat dish with some of the butter.
Remove onion, drain potatoes, and place half in the baking dish, salt and pepper as desired. Spread half of the creme fraiche over the top and sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat with second layer, adding remaining butter pieces to the top. Bake at 425º until nicely browned and bubbly, 35-45 minutes.
