Ingredients
- 7 large Yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced thin
- 1 clove garlic cut in half
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- salt and pepper
- 4 ounces gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and slice the potatoes. Place the slices of potatoes in a bowl filled with cold water as you cut them so they don't turn brown.
- Rub the two halves of garlic on the sides and bottom of a 2.5 liter or 3-quart casserole dish. Spread butter along the sides and bottom of the dish.
- Heat the heavy cream and milk on medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
- Drain the water from the sliced potatoes. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish and top with salt and pepper.
- Pour half of the heated cream mixture over the potatoes, and sprinkle half of the cheese, then repeat all the layers again.
- Bake until potatoes are soft and golden brown on top, about 50 to 55 minutes.
