- 2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a baking dish.
- Thinly slice the Russet potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife for even cooking.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Stir in minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Gradually add the grated Gruyere cheese to the cream mixture, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish and pour half of the cheesy sauce over them. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce, topping with extra Gruyere cheese for a crispy crust.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes; then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown and tender when tested with a fork. Let rest before serving.
