How to Make Elegant Potato Gratin

  1. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (50g) of grated Gruyere cheese (or your favorite cheese) and stir until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  4. In a separate large skillet, sauté 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, in 1/4 cup (57g) butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 2 lbs (900g) thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Pour the cooked cream mixture over the potatoes and onions. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  7. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
  8. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup (50g) grated Gruyere cheese.
  9. Sprinkle generously with paprika.
  10. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
