Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter.

  3. 3

    Slice the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline.

  4. 4

    Infuse the Cream

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for about 10 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Potatoes

    Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them.

  2. 6

    Add Cream Mixture

    Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes, then sprinkle a layer of grated Gruyère cheese.

  3. 7

    Repeat Layers

    Continue layering the potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and a generous topping of cheese.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Potatoes

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

  2. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy Dauphinoise potatoes!
