Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, Boursin cheese, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir occasionally until the Boursin cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place half of the sliced potatoes in an overlapping layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.
Layer the remaining half of the potato slices on top and pour the rest of the cream mixture over them.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the gratin. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to set. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired and enjoy!
