Easy Potato Pave
Ingredients:
– 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
– Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly to form a solid base.
4. Spoon a small amount of the cream mixture over the potatoes, just enough to cover them. Sprinkle a layer of grated Gruyere cheese on top.
5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese, making sure to finish with a layer of potatoes on top.
6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Let the Easy Potato Pave cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving.
