Description
This Crispy Parmesan and Gruyere Potato Gratin is the ultimate comfort dish—thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes layered with garlic-infused cream, Gruyere, and Parmesan, then baked until golden and bubbling. Rich, flavorful, and perfect for any gathering or cozy dinner.
Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
2. In a saucepan, warm the cream with garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until simmering. Remove from heat.
3. Thinly slice potatoes to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or knife.
4. Layer half the potatoes in the dish, pour half the cream, and sprinkle half the cheeses.
5. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, cream, and cheese.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake for another 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
8. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the perfect balance of creaminess and structure.
Don’t skip resting time—it helps the gratin set cleanly for slicing.
For a deeper flavor, add caramelized onions between layers.
