Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline for even thickness.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Layer half of the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the broth mixture evenly over the potatoes and sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potato slices, broth mixture, and Parmesan cheese, ensuring the top layer is evenly cheese-covered.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the gratin rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.
