Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 6 ounces Goat cheese
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the cream. Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir and heat until the cream is warmed through but not boiling.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and crumble the goat cheese into the cream mixture. Stir until the goat cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Arrange one-third of the potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Pour one-third of the goat cheese and cream mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly. Repeat this process two more times, creating a total of three layers.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer of the gratin.

Step 8

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

Step 9

After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Allow the gratin to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
