Creamy and cheesy gratin potatoes that are a perfect side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently warm the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat until the cream is warm and fragrant, but not boiling.
  3. Grease a baking dish with butter or oil. Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer across the bottom. Sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyère and half of the grated Parmesan over the potatoes.
  4. Pour half of the warmed cream mixture evenly across the layered potatoes.
  5. Repeat with the remaining potato slices and cheeses, then pour the rest of the cream over the top.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, until the top turns golden and bubbly.
  8. Let the gratin sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with cheese substitutions. Consider adding a layer of sautéed onions or leeks for extra flavor.
