Step 1
Preheat your broiler to high. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick.
Step 2
Butter a 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Layer one-third of the potato slices on the bottom, overlapping slightly.
Step 3
Whisk together cream, milk, minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Pour one-third over the potatoes.
Step 4
Repeat layers: potatoes, cream mixture, then more potatoes and cream. Top with remaining cream and all the Gruyère.
Step 5
Broil on the middle rack 6–8 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.
Step 6
Let cool 2 minutes. Serve hot with a green salad on the side.
