Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups milk
- 2 prigs thyme plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 pounds (125g) Russet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9x13-inch (23 cm x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
- In a pot, melt the butter and cook the onions until softened. Add the cream, milk, thyme, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer.
- Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the thyme sprigs and pour the potatoes into the baking dish. Top with cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is slightly golden. Allow the dish to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes before serving, and sprinkle with extra thyme leaves, if desired.

Notes
- If you want to try a different cheese, I recommend gruyere. It's sweet, but slightly salty.
