How to Make Potato Gratin With Mushrooms And Gruyre

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 2 large leeks (white and light green parts only, thinly sliced) and sauté until soft and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Add 1 pound sliced cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft and the liquid evaporates, about 7-8 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  6. Pat 2 pounds of thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes dry with a kitchen towel.
  7. In a large pot, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Add the potatoes to the cream mixture. Bring to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove the lid and simmer for another 3 minutes, or until the cream is reduced by about half and the potatoes are partially cooked, stirring often to prevent burning.
  11. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Brush the 13x9x2-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  13. Transfer half of the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  14. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the potatoes in an even layer.
  15. Top with the remaining potato mixture, spreading it evenly.
  16. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of grated Gruyère cheese over the top.
  17. Cover with foil, tenting in the center to prevent the cheese from sticking.
  18. Bake for 30 minutes.
  19. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  20. Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving.
