Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter (divided, room temp)
- 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold preferred, about 4)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme
- 4 oz Gruyère cheese (coarsely grated, about 1.5 heaping cups)
Steps
-
Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter a small 2 quart baking dish. Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/8 inch thick rounds.
-
Place the potatoes with the cream, milk, garlic, and thyme into a large pot. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to medium and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
-
Spoon 1/3 of the potato mix into the prepared dish and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese. Add another 1/3 of the potatoes and top with cheese. Dot with butter. Finish on a potato layer and loosely cover with foil.
-
Bake until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil and broil until bubbly and brown, 3-5 minutes. Let rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
