Using a mandolin or vegetable slicer, slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch thick and put them in a saucepan with the minced garlic and remaining butter, the half and half, thyme, salt, pepper, to taste, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
