Classic French, Side Dish Nut Free, Potatoes

Gratin Savoyard

Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

2 lb. Russet Potatoes, Peeled And Thinly Sliced
1½ cups Heavy Cream
½ cup Whole Milk
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 tsp. Chopped Fresh Thyme
Salt And Pepper, To Taste
1 cup Grated Gruyère Or Comté Cheese
½ cup Breadcrumbs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat.

Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with a third of the grated cheese.

Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the top is golden and crispy.

Allow the Gratin Savoyard to cool for a few minutes before serving.
