Ingredients
- 2 leeks
- 2 tablespoons butter or avocado oil
- 6 Russet potatoes medium sized
- 1 cup half and half
- 3 cloves garlic pushed through a garlic press
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped, or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Place the leeks on a cutting board and trim the root end and dark green leaves. Cut the remaining leeks lengthwise in half. Slice each piece into thin strips.
- Heat butter or oil in a medium skillet and over medium heat. Add leeks and cook stirring occasionally until the leeks soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Peel the potatoes with a mandoline or knife, and cut them into ⅛ inch-thick slices.
- Grease an 8 x 6 baking dish and arrange sliced potatoes in a circular pattern in a dish, overlapping slightly. Spread half of the sauteed leeks evenly over the potatoes.
- Arrange another layer of the potatoes followed by the remaining leeks and all remaining potatoes.
- In a measuring cup whisk half and half, garlic, nutmeg, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese.
- Cover the gratin with a foil and bake for 40 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes until the gratin is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

- When slicing the potatoes, try to keep them at a consistent thickness. This will help them cook evenly and give your gratin a great texture.
- Use a mandoline slicer if you have one. It makes slicing the potatoes a lot easier and ensures they are all the same thickness.
- Don't rush the leeks. Cooking them slowly in butter or oil will bring out their natural sweetness and give your gratin a delicious flavor.
- Feel free to make this dish a day ahead of time and reheat it for your dinner party. It'll save you time and the gratin will be just as delicious.
