Description

Whether you are serving these for your holiday or weeknight dinner, everyone will love these wonderfully delicious potatoes. They are made with two different cheeses, onion, nutmeg and Half and Half topped with breadcrumbs and cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8 inch thick round slices
• 1 c. Spanish onion, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch
• 2 1/4 c. Half and Half
• 3 T. butter
• 1/2 nutmeg clove, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, very finely minced
• 1 1/2 T. thyme leaves, finely minced (plus 1/2 T. reserved of whole leaves for garnish)
• 3/4 c. Gruyere cheese, grated
• 1/4 c. coarse breadcrumbs
• 1/4 c. Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with a small amount of the butter or use non-stick cooking spray.
2. Combine potatoes, onion, Half and Half and butter into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. The potatoes will not be fully cooked. This step is to thicken the Half and Half.
3. Strain potatoes; place the Half and Half mixture into a separate saucepan. Whisk in nutmeg, garlic, and thyme. Bring to a simmer; whisk in the cheese; season with salt and pepper.
