Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
7 medium Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut in 1/2-inch thick coins
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large, oven-safe high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of wet sand, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk, little by little.
  • Put the saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Lower the heat and whisk in 2 cups of the Cheddar, 2 cups of the Gruyere, the garlic, pepper and salt. Whisk until the cheese is melted, then stir in the nutmeg. Add the sliced potatoes to the pan. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1 cup Gruyere over the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F., and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes more. (Cover the dish with foil if the top becomes too dark before the potatoes are tender.) Scatter the chopped parsley over the top, and serve.

I made this gratin for my family and they loved it! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.

This gratin was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter version of this dish.

This gratin was a bit disappointing. The potatoes were undercooked and the cheese sauce was bland. I think I would have been better off using a different recipe.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was very heavy and the potatoes were a bit bland. I think I would prefer a lighter version of this dish.
