Ingredients
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Layer Potatoes: Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the Gruyère and cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
Repeat Layers: Add the remaining potatoes on top of the cheese layer. Season again with salt and pepper.
Combine Cream and Garlic: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and minced garlic over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour Cream Mixture: Carefully pour the hot cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it evenly covers them.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère and cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve:Before serving, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool somewhat. If preferred, garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
Enjoy.
