Ingredients
- 6 russet potatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese grated
- 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 Tablespoons fresh Thyme chopped or 1 Tablespoon dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 medium onion minced

- 2 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel and slice the potatoes to ⅛ inch thickness. A mandoline works best to slice potatoes into uniform size but you can use a knife too. Submerge into a bowl of cold water as you work. This keeps the potatoes beautiful white.
- Melt butter in a pan. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add bay leaf, onion, salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add thyme, cream and milk and bring to a slow simmer.
- Add cheese and stir until melted together. Set aside
- Drain and pat dry potatoes. Prepare pan - rub butter or apply cooking spray to a 8x8 baking dish. Place potatoes in dish.
- Remove bay leaf from cream mixture. Carefully pour cream mixture over sliced potatoes, ensuring all potatoes are covered. Cover with aluminum foil.
- 10. Bake for one hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes, uncovered or until cheese is golden and potatoes are cooked through.
