Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick) using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan with the garlic and butter. Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Sprinkle a layer of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese (about 1/3 of their total amounts) on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with another 1/3 of the cheese.

Step 7

Add the remaining potatoes in another layer, pour the remaining cream mixture over them, and top with the remaining cheese.

Step 8

If using fresh thyme, sprinkle it on top for added flavor.

Step 9

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

Step 10

After 40 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
