Step-by-Step Instructions for Potatoes Dauphinoise
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Wash, peel, and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes to about ¼ inch thick. Layer on a towel to absorb excess moisture.
  3. Combine heavy cream, smashed garlic, bay leaves, kosher salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and optional thyme in a pot. Heat over medium until simmering for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced potatoes to the simmering cream, gently stir, and simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes.
  5. Grease your casserole dish generously with butter or oil.
  6. Layer half of the simmered potato slices into the greased casserole dish, sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese on top.
  7. Add the remaining potato slices on top, pour the cream mixture over, and discard any excess.
  8. Top with the remaining Gruyère cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For the best experience, serve Potatoes Dauphinoise fresh out of the oven. Leftovers may lose their luscious quality if stored for too long.
