Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the baking dish
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
2. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
3. Layer Potatoes: Arrange half of the potato slices in the greased baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese on top.
4. Repeat Layers: Add the remaining potato slices, pour the rest of the cream mixture over, and finish with the remaining cheese.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
6. Serve: Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
