Ingredients for Gruyere Potatoes Au Gratin

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Butter
  • Half And Half Cream
  • Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese

How to Make Gruyere Potatoes Au Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thinly slice 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Reserve 1 cup of the Gruyere cheese for topping.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  5. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes in the baking dish.
  6. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of Gruyere cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
