Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 2 cups Swiss cheese
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the olive oil and set aside.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Slice them thinly into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Warm it gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Layer one-third of the sliced red potatoes in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded Swiss cheese over the potatoes.
Step 6
Pour one-third of the warm cream mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Repeat the process two more times, creating three layers total.
Step 7
Dot the top layer with the unsalted butter, evenly spaced.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 10
Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh thyme if desired.
