Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Oregon myrtlewood smoked salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently. Add the fresh thyme leaves, myrtlewood smoked salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture over low-medium heat until warm, but do not bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Layer one-third of the potatoes in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices.
Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses over the potato layer. Repeat this process with two more layers of potatoes and cheeses.
Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the gratin cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
