Potato Gratin


Serves 5-6

4# yukon gold potatoes
1 lt heavy cream
1 cup grated gruyer
salt & black pepper
thyme

Butter a baking dish with 3 tbsp of soft butter mixed with 1 clove of minced garlic- set aside


Slice potatoes to 1/4" thick * use a knife or mandoline, heat cream in large pot with thyme then add in sliced potatoes. Cook on low heat until cream is thick and potatoes are slightly cooked. Make sure you stir often so the potatoes don't stick to the bottom. Then transfer potatoes and cream mix to the prepared pan cover with grated cheese and bake at 357F for 25 min then turn oven up to 425F for 40min- 1 hr depending on how long the potatoes take to cook. The gratin is done when its nicely browned on top and the potatoes are soft when checked with a tooth pick * make sure you check it in the center


Cream is now thick


Gratin with cheese added
Enjoy!!
