Description

Yukon Gold Potato Gratin is a creamy, cheesy potato casserole perfect for holidays or dinner parties, packed with rich flavor and golden perfection.


Ingredients

– 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
3. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream with minced garlic, salt, and pepper over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
4. Layer half of the potato slices in the baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over them.
5. Sprinkle half of the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses over the potatoes.
6. Add the remaining potato slices, pour the remaining cream mixture, and top with the rest of the cheeses.
7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
9. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

– For a crispier top, broil the gratin for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
– Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their buttery flavor and creamy texture, but other potatoes can be used as a substitute.
– Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
