Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the baking dish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and thyme. Whisk until well combined.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the Gruyere cheese over the potatoes. Pour half of the cream mixture over the cheese.

- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

- Let the scalloped potatoes cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon between the layers.
- Try using a mix of cheeses, such as cheddar or fontina, for a different taste profile.
