Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

Spread half of the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them like shingles. Pour half of the warm cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup of Gruyère and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Add the remaining potato slices in an even layer, pour the rest of the cream mixture over them, and top with the remaining Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 9

Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme if desired and serve warm.
