Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Lightly grease a 3-quart gratin dish or shallow baking dish with butter.
  3. Thinly slice the peeled baking potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  4. Spread half of the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic, half of the thyme, half of the salt, half of the pepper, and half of the shredded Gruyere cheese over the potatoes.
  6. Top with the remaining potato slices, overlapping them slightly for an attractive appearance.
  7. Pour the chicken broth evenly over the top layer of potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme, salt, pepper, and Gruyere cheese.
  9. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  11. Carefully tilt the pan and spoon the hot broth over the potatoes to baste them.
  12. Return to the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer, until the top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  13. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the gratin to set.
