Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
⅛ teaspoon freshly-grated nutmeg
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
2 ½ lbs. russet potatoes (about 5 medium), peeled and sliced ⅛-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream; cook, whisking, until thickened, another 2 minutes or so. Add the thyme, salt, pepper, nutmeg, half of the cheddar and half of the Gruyere. Whisk for about 1 more minute, making sure that all of the cheese is melted. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Arrange half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Season with a little bit of salt. Pour half of the sauce over top. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, season with another pinch of salt, and pour the remaining sauce over all. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and bake for 50-60 minutes (or until the potatoes are just about tender), then uncover and bake until browned on top, an additional 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.
