Ingredients

  • 7-10 Medium Yellow/Yukon Gold Potatoes Sliced amount will vary depending on size of pan and desired serving size
  • 1-1.5 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 2-3 Tbs Butter
  • 4-5 Stems of Fresh Thyme with leaves removed.
  • 2-3 Pinches of Nutmeg preferably grated fresh
  • 2-3 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1.5 to 2 Cups of Grated Cheese almost any grated cheese mix will do, but preferably one with mozzarella, asiago, provolone or parmesan

Instructions

  1. Directions:
  2. Preheat oven to 400 Bake
  3. Add in 2 layers of sliced potatoes into a medium sized Porcelain/Pyrex baking pan (you can vary size of pan for desired quantity)
  4. Add in heavy cream to just cover the potatoes (should be no higher than a little over 1/2 way up the side of the pan)
  5. Add in Salt, Pepper, Nutmeg, Thyme and butter (move the potatoes around with a spoon to settle the seasoning into the heavy cream)
  6. Bake in oven uncovered on the top rack for 30-40 mins, check frequently and mix with a spoon to ensure heavy cream doesn’t burn
  7. Heavy cream will reduce in volume and brown
  8. Remove from oven and top with cheese
  9. Return to top rack of the oven for approx.. 5 minutes until cheese is browned (watch carefully as cheese will burn if left too long)
