Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg
Kitchen tools needed
- 5-In-1 Mandoline Slicer
- 8x8 inch baking dish
- Small saucepan
- Large mixing bowl
- Cheese grater (or use the mandoline's grating blade)
Kitchen prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using the 5-In-1 Mandoline Slicer, carefully slice the peeled potatoes to a uniform thickness of about 1/8 inch. Make sure to use the safety hand guard to protect your fingers. The potatoes will fall directly into the all-in-one container, making for easy cleanup.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Grease your baking dish with the melted butter.
Instructions
- Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with a handful of shredded Gruyère cheese.
- Repeat this process, creating alternating layers of potatoes and cheese until you've used all the ingredients.
- Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the potatoes and cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
