List of Ingredients



• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 1 small onion, minced
  
• 2 medium garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  
• 3 cups heavy cream
  
• 1 cup whole milk
  
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  
• 2 bay leaves
  
• 2 teaspoons salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
• 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8 inch thick slices
  
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large dutch oven over medium high heat until foaming subsides, about 1 minute. Add onion and saute until it turns soft and begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, milk, thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain light simmer and cook until potatoes are almost tender (paring knife can be slipped into and out of center of potato slice with some resistence), about 15 minutes.
   
2. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Transfer potato mixture to a 3 quart baking gratin dish and sprinkle with cheese. bake until cream has thickened and is bubbling around sides and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
