Ingredients

• 500 g Jerusalem artichokes
• 300 g Yukon Gold potatoes
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 100 ml Whole milk
• 100 g Gruyère cheese, grated
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes, then slice them thinly (about 3 mm thickness) using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium-low heat until warm, but do not let the mixture boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Drain and pat dry the sliced Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

Layer one-third of the slices in the prepared baking dish, alternating between Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes. Sprinkle one-third of the grated Gruyère cheese over the top.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process with the remaining slices and cheese, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 7

Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered vegetables, ensuring it seeps through all the layers.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra golden crust.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 11

Let the gratin cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a delicious side dish or vegetarian main!
