Pre-heat the oven to 175° C. Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them
into thin slices. Dry them for a moment in a tea-towel and keep them in there (otherwise the potatoes will discolour). Cut the onion in thin rings. Peel one clove of garlic and chop it. Heat the oil in the frying pan and fry the bacon and onion softly for about 4 minutes, stir it from time to time.

Mix the bacon, onion and garlic in a bowl. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir again. Whisk the egg-yolk with the soft curd cheese, whipping cream, salt and pepper.
Rub the oven dish with the other clove of garlic and dust with a little (sea)salt, then grease with half the butter. Put the potatoes and the bacon/onion mixture in thin alternate layers in the oven dish. Level and put the egg mixture on top of it. Dot the remaining butter in knobs on it. Bake the potato dish in approx. one hour golden brown in the oven.
Serve the gratin directly from the dish.
