Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 5 Yukon Gold potatoes medium
  • 1 cup Gruyere grated

  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • In a small saucepan add the cream, salt, and garlic. Bring to a simmer on low heat a cook for 5 minutes. This will allow the garlic flavor to infuse the cream. Remove from the heat and set to the side.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline slicer.
  • In a 12 inch cast iron pan, add the butter and shallots and fry on low heat for 5 minutes until the shallots have caramelized.
  • Arrange the sliced potatoes in a spiral pattern on top of the cooked shallots. Pour the cream mixture over top of the potatoes.
  • Cover the cast iron pan tightly with a piece of tin foil. Place the cast iron pan into the oven and bake for 1 hr and 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven temperature to broil.
  • Cover the potatoes with the grated Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle with the thyme. Place the cast iron pan into the oven and broil for 5 minutes until the cheese is crispy and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm.
  • Store and reheat for the following day if needed.
