Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, nutmeg, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the inside of a large cast-iron skillet with the softened butter to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in the skillet, slightly overlapping the edges of each slice.

Step 6

Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the potato layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded Gruyère cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 8

Layer the remaining potatoes over the cheese, slightly overlapping as before.

Step 9

Pour the remaining cream mixture over the second potato layer.

Step 10

Sprinkle the rest of the Gruyère cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Step 11

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top layer to promote browning.

Step 12

Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 14

Allow the gratin to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Step 15

Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve directly from the skillet.
