Ingredients

Scale
  • 89 medium starchy potatoes (about 1.2kg), thinly sliced
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30 minutes until soft.
  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter. Slice the potatoes thinly.
  3. Arrange potato slices upright in layers within the baking dish.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, milk, butter, half of the parmesan cheese, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Heat gently until combined.
  5. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a bowl and mash them into a paste; mix into the cream mixture.
  6. Pour the creamy mixture over the layered potatoes and cover with foil. Bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Remove foil, sprinkle remaining cheeses on top, and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes until golden brown.
