Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch slices
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
• 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking 1 minute longer. Stir in the cream, broth and thyme, and season with the salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes and cream to a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the potatoes. Bake until bubbly and the surface begins to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
