Ingredients

6 servings

2 tbsp butter (divided, room temp)
2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold preferred, about 4)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/2 tbsp fresh thyme
4 oz Gruyère cheese (coarsely grated, about 1.5 heaping cups)

Instructions

Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter a small 2 quart baking dish. Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/8 inch thick rounds.
Place the potatoes with the cream, milk, garlic, and thyme into a large pot. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to medium and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
Spoon 1/3 of the potato mix into the prepared dish and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese. Add another 1/3 of the potatoes and top with cheese. Dot with butter. Finish on a potato layer and loosely cover with foil.
Bake until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil and broil until bubbly and brown, 3-5 minutes. Let rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
