A creamy and cheesy potato gratin with a golden top, perfect for holidays or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (such as Gruyère or Cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine thinly sliced potatoes, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Layer half of the potato mixture in the prepared dish and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese.
  4. Add the rest of the potato mixture, pressing down gently, and top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for half of the heavy cream. This dish pairs well with meat or can be enjoyed as a vegetarian option with a salad.
