Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

2
Prepare the potatoes

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife, about 1/8-inch thick.

3
Prepare the cream mixture

In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer.

4
Layer the potatoes

Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Pour about 1/3 of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with the cream mixture on top.

5
Add cheese

Grate the Gruyère cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the top layer of the cream mixture.

6
Bake the gratin

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

7
Let it rest

Remove the Potato Gratin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the gratin to set and makes it easier to cut into portions.

8
Serve and enjoy

Cut the Potato Gratin into portions and serve hot as a side dish. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and comforting flavors of this classic French dish.
