Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 3-4 mm thick. Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness if you have one.
Rinse the potato slices in cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess starch.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in butter.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the potatoes over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the potatoes are tender and golden brown, pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the potatoes and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, until the cheese has melted and created a crispy, golden crust on the surface.
Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt if needed.
Transfer the truffade to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your soy-free truffade as a side dish or a main course with a crisp green salad!
