Ingredients
Potatoes
- 7 Yukon Gold Potatoes medium, peeled and thinly sliced
Sauce
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour
- 5 clove Garlic grated
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
Topping
- 2 tbsp Butter softened
- 2 tbsp Parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 cup Gruyère Cheese divided, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with butter. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes in the dish, overlapping slightly.
- Par-bake the potatoes for 10-12 minutes. This helps them cook evenly in the gratin.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, rice flour, grated garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in half of the Gruyère cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Carefully pour the sauce over the par-baked potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese and chopped parsley over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra flavor depth, try adding a layer of caramelized onions or sautéed leeks between the potato slices before baking.
- If you want a crispier, golden top, sprinkle a mixture of gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan over the dish for the last 15 minutes of baking.
- To save time on busy mornings, assemble the dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate—just bring to room temperature before baking.
- For a spicy kick, layer in thinly sliced jalapeños or sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika between potato layers.
Expert Tips
- Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices, ensuring even cooking.
- For a richer flavor, substitute some of the milk or cream with sour cream or crème fraîche.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the potato slices for proper cooking and browning.
Storage Instructions
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
