Creamy Gruyere scalloped potatoes with a crispy golden crust, delivering rich, nutty flavor and tender, thinly sliced potatoes baked to perfection. Perfect for holidays, gatherings, or cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups (about 200 grams) shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons (about 56 grams) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • A pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice potatoes about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. Combine sliced potatoes with the cream mixture, then gently fold in 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded Gruyere cheese and fresh thyme if using.
  5. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  6. Pour the potato mixture into the dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (50 g) Gruyere cheese on top.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  9. Let the scalloped potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh shredded Gruyere cheese for best melt and browning. Let potatoes rest after baking to thicken sauce. If potatoes seem dry mid-bake, add a splash of cream around edges. For extra crispy edges, broil 2-3 minutes at the end but watch carefully.
