Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 3 medium Turnips
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.

Step 3

Peel the potatoes and turnips, then slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just warm (do not boil).

Step 5

Layer one-third of the potato and turnip slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyère cheese evenly over the layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining potato, turnip slices, and Gruyère cheese.

Step 8

Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered vegetables, ensuring every surface is coated.

Step 9

Dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 12

Allow the bake to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
