Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs potatoes, waxy (Yukon gold or red)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp butter (for the skillet)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your broiler to high. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick.

    Butter a 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Layer one-third of the potato slices on the bottom, overlapping slightly.

    Repeat layers: potatoes, cream mixture, then more potatoes and cream. Top with remaining cream and all the Gruyère.

  5. 5

    Broil on the middle rack 6–8 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.

    Let cool 2 minutes. Serve hot with a green salad on the side.
