1.
Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for around 25-30 min. Drain and leave to cool a little. Peel and mash.

Cut 1 cm pieces from it and press the typical lined pattern into each one using the back of a fork. Do the same with the remaining dough, shape into balls, cover and leave to rest on the work surface.

Place the garlic, cream and the stock in a pot and bring to the boil. Add both cheeses, allow to melt and simmer on a low heat until think. Season with salt, ground black pepper and nutmeg.
