Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 ounces Gruyère or Comté cheese

  • 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled

  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half

  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled and very finely minced

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  2. Fit a food processor with a shredding disk and use it to shred cheese. Transfer to a small bowl. Fit processor with slicing disk and use it to slice potatoes.

  3. Put potatoes in a large saucepan with half-and-half, garlic, salt, and nutmeg; stir gently to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook at a gentle boil, stirring often with a heat-safe spatula to prevent sticking, until half-and-half has reduced and thickly coats potatoes, about 8 minutes.

  4. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Smooth top and sprinkle evenly with cheese.

  5. Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
