Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more melted for pan
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced very thinly
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Place a baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips from gratin. Brush a 10-by-5 1/2-inch gratin dish with melted butter.
  • Cover bottom of gratin dish with one-third of potato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle potatoes with one-third each of thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Add a second layer, and season. Top with a third layer of neatly arranged potato slices. Pour milk over potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining third thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest, and dot with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with foil.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake 10 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve gratin hot, spooned out into individual servings.

I made this gratin in a cast iron skillet and it turned out perfectly. The cast iron skillet gave the gratin a nice crispy crust.

I'm not a big fan of thyme, so I used rosemary instead. It was still delicious!

I used Gruyère cheese instead of Parmesan and it was amazing! The Gruyère added a nutty flavor that really complemented the lemon and thyme.
