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.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Lightly saute' the onions to flavor the butter. Add the cheddar cheese soup and pepper and stir to mix thoroughly. Stir in milk to thin the sauce a bit.

  • Spread evenly in a greased or sprayed 13x9x2 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until the top potatoes begin to brown around the edges.
