Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for dish
8 ounces shallots (about 4), thinly sliced (1 1/3 cups)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 thyme sprigs, plus 1 teaspoon leaves
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces sharp white cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in lower third. Brush a 2-to-2 1/2- quart baking dish with butter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme sprigs; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are beginning to turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes (if they brown quickly, reduce heat). Stir in potatoes, milk, cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard thyme.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer one-third of potato mixture to prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with one-third of cheese. Repeat layering once more; top with remaining potato mixture and season. Cut remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes; sprinkle over top. Carefully pour liquid from pan over top. Scatter on remaining cheese, thyme leaves, and more pepper. Transfer dish to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake until bubbly, 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool at least 20 minutes (so cream mixture can be fully absorbed), loosely tented with foil, before serving.

Tips:

  • For a crispy top, use Panko breadcrumbs or crushed crackers instead of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • For a richer gratin, use a combination of heavy cream and milk, or even all heavy cream.
  • To make the gratin ahead of time, assemble it and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Then, bake it as directed.
  • To freeze the gratin, assemble it and freeze it for up to 2 months. Then, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and bake it as directed.
  • Serve the gratin hot with a green salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Potato gratin is a classic French dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is simple to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy, cheesy, and crispy topping, potato gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
