Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or cheese of your choice)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Slice the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
Mix the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Whisk until well blended.
Layer the Potatoes: Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of grated cheese.
Repeat Layers: Continue layering potatoes, cream, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and cheese on top.
Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let it Rest: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
