Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Oregon myrtlewood smoked salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 0.25 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently. Add the fresh thyme leaves, myrtlewood smoked salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture over low-medium heat until warm, but do not bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.

Step 5

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Layer one-third of the potatoes in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses over the potato layer. Repeat this process with two more layers of potatoes and cheeses.

Step 7

Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top.

Step 9

Bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Let the gratin cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
