A creamy, cheesy potato bake perfect for holiday meals or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle half of the Gruyère and cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
  5. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese.
  6. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes and cheese.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, slice potatoes uniformly using a mandoline.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like Swiss or Parmesan.
  • To make ahead, assemble the dish up to the point of baking, cover, and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time.
