• Add the milk, cream, and whole garlic cloves to a large saucepan and heat on a burner at medium until simmering, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.

• Using a large slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the pan and add about half of them to a large, ovenproof baking dish. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer.
• Remove the rest of the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and pour about half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes in the oven dish.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the top.
• Add the remaining potatoes on top in another layer, then add the cream, salt and pepper, and cheese once again.
• Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are bubbling and golden on the top.
• Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes, then serve, optionally sprinkled with fresh chives.
