Dauphinoise Potatoes (Cheesy Potatoes Gratin Dauphinoise)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ lbs potatoes

  (starchy potatoes like russet, Yukon Gold, King Edward, or Maris Piper)
• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoon butter

  (melted)
• 1 teaspoon garlic

  (minced)
• ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• 2 ½ cups Gruyere cheese

  (or another great Swiss cheese, or mozzarella - grated)
• fresh thyme

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your 1.5 quart or larger
  dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
• 2 Wash and peel your potatoes, then slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch thick slices
  using a mandoline, food processor, or by hand.
• 3 Assemble the potatoes in your prepared baking dish by layering the first ⅓ of
  the sliced potatoes onto the bottom of the baking dish. Mix together the heavy
  whipping cream, melted butter, and garlic then pour the first ⅓ portion of the
  cream mixture over the bottom layer of potatoes.
• 4 Sprinkle salt and pepper, as well as the optional fresh thyme over the bottom
  layer. Then top with the first ⅓ portion of grated cheese (approximately ¾
  cups). Repeat until all of the layers are added.
• 5 Cover with a lid or sheet of aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour
  and 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. *Be sure to check the
  potatoes in the center of your dish.
• 6 Remove the lid or aluminum foil and let the potatoes and cheese brown for the
  last 15 minutes of cooking time. Once done, remove your potatoes dauphinoise
  from the oven and allow to set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
