Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspon (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 3

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Step 4

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly.

Step 6

Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyère cheese and a small pinch of thyme over the potato layer.

Step 7

Pour one-third of the heated cream mixture evenly over the layer.

Step 8

Repeat this process for the remaining potatoes, cheese, thyme, and cream mixture, forming three layers in total.

Step 9

On the top layer, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the Parmesan.

Step 11

Cover the dish with foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese topping to avoid sticking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 13

Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
