Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 sprigs thyme plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 4 pounds (125g) russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9x13-inch (23cm x 33cm) baking dish with nonstick spray; set aside.
  • In a pot, melt the butter and cook the onions until softened. Add the cream, milk, thyme and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the potatoes and cook until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs and pour the potatoes into the baking dish. Top with cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is slightly golden. Allow the dish to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra thyme leaves, if desired.

Notes

If you want to try a different cheese, I recommend gruyere. It's sweet, but slightly salty.
