Prep Steps
- Pick leaves of rosemary off the stems and finely chop to measure the indicated amount. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
Cook Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/8-1/4 inch thick slices. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
- Microwave the potatoes on high for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Strain any liquid from the potatoes after microwaving.
- Combine whole milk and heavy cream in the bowl with the rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly butter a baking dish. Layer the potatoes on the bottom, overlapping them slightly. Cover with 1/3 the Gruyere cheese, 1/3 the Parmesan cheese and 1/3 the heavy cream mixture. Season the first layer with salt and pepper, then repeat with 2 more layers. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the potato gratin in the preheated oven. Cook until potatoes are tender and pierce easily with a fork, and sauce is thick, about [20-25 minutes]. Remove foil and cook for another 10-15 minutes until top is golden brown.
- Once the gratin is out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes before cutting.
- Slice the gratin and transfer to dinner plates. Serve warm!
