Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Whisk together cream, milk, minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Pour one-third over the potatoes.

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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