Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Vidalia onions thinly sliced
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the onions

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet. Add sliced onions. Cook on low heat, stirring often, until golden, soft and sweet.

Slice the potatoes

  • Peel and slice potatoes into thin rounds. Keep slices even for perfect cooking. Place them in water to stop browning.

Make cream mixture

  • In a bowl, mix heavy cream, milk, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.

Preheat the oven

  • Set your oven to 180°C or 350°F. Grease your baking dish lightly with butter to prevent sticking during baking.

Layer the potatoes

  • Place a layer of potato slices in the baking dish. Slightly overlap them to create a strong base.

Add onions layer

  • Spread a layer of caramelized onions over the potatoes. Make sure the onions cover evenly for consistent flavor.

Add cheese and cream

  • Sprinkle some Gruyère and Parmesan cheese. Pour a little cream mixture over the layers to keep everything moist.

Repeat layers

  • Repeat layering potatoes, onions, cheese and cream until all ingredients are used. Finish with a generous cheese layer on top.

Bake covered

  • Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 40 minutes until potatoes become tender and absorb all creamy flavors nicely.

Bake uncovered

  • Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Let the top become golden brown and slightly crispy.

Rest before serving

  • Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes. This helps the layers set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices.
  • Cook onions slowly for best sweetness and flavor.
  • Add bacon bits for a smoky taste.
  • Try cheddar cheese if Gruyère is not available.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
  • Use sweet potatoes for a twist.
