Calories: 347kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 2.5 lb russet potatoes (about 5 medium)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups Gruyère cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the heavy cream, thinly sliced garlic, and butter to a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium low and heat just until the butter melts. After the butter melts, remove the pan from the stove and season the cream mix with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prep the potatoes.
- Peel the potatoes and slice thinly, either with a mandolin or a sharp knife, about 1/8 of an inch in width.
- Lay out 1/3 of the potatoes in a baking dish and pour on 1/3 of the cream. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the gruyere. Repeat, laying out another 1/3 of the potatoes and 1/3 of the cream and 1/3 of the gruyere. Finish with the remaining potatoes, pushing them down slightly to submerge in the cream.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until soft and tender (use a knife to test) about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the depth of your baking dish.
- When the potatoes are soft and tender, remove from the oven and take off the foil. Top with the remaining grated gruyere cheese and bake until the cheese is melty and golden, about another 10-15 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes then enjoy.
