• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 5 -6 medium russet potatoes
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 8 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (might have to shred yourself as these usually come in blocks)
• 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
• salt
• pepper

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Grease an 11 x 7 x 2 inch metal or glass rectangle pan (or any 2-quart baking dish).
3. Peel and thinly slice all the potatoes.
4. Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour 1/3 of the heavy cream and 1/3 of the melted butter over the sliced potatoes.
6. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes.
7. Sprinkle 1/3 of the gruyere cheese over the sliced potatoes.
8. Repeat steps 4 - 7 twice more.
9. Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven for 60 minutes.
10. Once finished, the cheese on top will turn a nice brown color and be slightly crispy. For an even darker color and an even more crispy texture, leave in oven for an additional 5 - 15 minutes.
