Description
A delicious creamy potato bake with Gruyere cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled then sliced 1/8” thick)
- 8 oz freshly grated Gruyere cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees then spray a 9×13” baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Add the whole milk, heavy cream, garlic salt, dried thyme, and pepper to a large pot or Dutch Oven then stir to combine.
- Peel then slice the potatoes 1/8″ thick – as you slice the potatoes, add them to the cream mixture in the pot to prevent browning.
- Place the pot over high heat then bring the milk/cream mixture to a simmer, stirring often to ensure it heats evenly. Once simmering, cook for 1 additional minute then remove the pot from the heat and let mixture cool slightly, 10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer 1/3 of the potatoes into the prepared baking dish then sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese on top. Add another 1/3 of the potatoes and another 1/3 of cheese.
- For the last layer, add the remaining potatoes then drizzle the remaining milk mixture from the pot evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top then cover the dish with a piece of nonstick sprayed foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil then bake for another 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the potatoes goes in very easily (you can broil for a minute or two if you want a darker top.)
- Let the potatoes cool for 20-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices of your choice.
