Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds Russet Yukon Gold, or Red Potatoes (I used Yukon Gold)
  • 1 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 Teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 Cups Gruyere fresh grated (divided into 3 equal parts)
  • 1 Cup sharp cheddar fresh grated (divided into 3 equal parts)
  • 2 Teaspoons Thyme fresh preferred

Instructions
 

  1. Pre heat oven to 400
  2. With the mandolin, slice all of your potatoes Approximately 1/8th " (you can throw away the end pieces).
  3. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together heavy cream, garlic, and melted butter
  4. In a 9 x 12 pyrex dish and spray with a non-stick spray. Put a layer of sliced potatoes first. Sprinkle with a little salt & pepper. Use 1/3 portion gruyere & cheddar.
  5. Repeat the previous step until all potatoes are done and are finished with a top layer of potatoes. You should have about 3 - 4 layers of potatoes and cheeses. Pour 1 /3 cream mixture over.
  6. Repeat process for 2 more times. Do NOT cover with remaining cheese. We'll save this for the last step.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and cover top with the remaining cheese. Place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
  9. Once removed from oven, allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
