Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity

Russet Potatoes 4 large, peeled and thinly sliced

Heavy Cream 1 cup

Whole Milk 1/2 cup

Parmesan Cheese, grated 1/2 cup

Gruyere Cheese, grated 1/2 cup

Garlic 2 cloves, minced

Unsalted Butter 2 tablespoons

Dried Thyme 1 teaspoon

Salt and Black Pepper To taste

Chopped Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish)

 

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

 

Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes. Aim for uniform slices for even cooking.

 

Make the Creamy Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, butter, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Heat it until the butter melts and everything is well combined.

 

Layer the Dish: Grease a baking dish. Start with a layer of sliced potatoes, slightly overlapping them. Pour some of the creamy mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with Parmesan and Gruyere cheese. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.

 

Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

Garnish and Serve: Take the Potatoes DelMonico out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) for a touch of color. Serve hot and enjoy!
