Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potato peeled, or waxy potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened, unsalted
  • salt freshly cracked black pepper
  • black pepper freshly cracked black pepper
  • 8 ounces gruyere cheese coarsely grated, or good melting cheese
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • chive finely chopped, fresh, or thyme, for garnish

Notes

  • mandoline slicer
  • If using ground nutmeg instead of fresh, stir it into the heavy cream before pouring over the potatoes.
  • Try your best to cut the potatoes as thinly an evenly as possible. Thicker potato slices will take longer to cook, so the thinner the better. A mandoline slicer is the best way to achieve perfectly even, thin slices.If your slices are uneven, you could end up with a few bites of hard potato.
  • If the potatoes are still undercooked and the top is getting too brown, cover them with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Allow the gratin to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting to allow it to set up.
