Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 lbs russet potatoes, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

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

3. Add the flour to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for another minute to form a roux.

4. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. Stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then remove the pan from the heat and add the rosemary and thyme.

6. Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared dish, slightly overlapping them.

7. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle half of the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses.

8. Layer the remaining potatoes on top, pour over the rest of the cream mixture, and top with the remaining cheeses.

9. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil, then sprinkle over the top of the dish.

10. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

11. Allow to cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
