  1 lb Yellow Yukon Potatoes
• In a small pot add heavy cream, butter, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, whole garlic cloves, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 5 – 10 minutes.
  3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, 3 Garlic Cloves, 1 bunch Fresh Thyme (5 -6 sprigs), 1 Bay Leaf, 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream, 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

• Scrape the sides of the bowl down if needed and mix for another minute.
