Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices (on mandoline or with a knife)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
- 1 cup grated Gruyere
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring 2 cups of the heavy cream to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the potatoes, salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
Rub the cut side of the garlic clove on the bottom and sides of an 8-inch casserole or baking dish. Add the potatoes and cream and top with the remaining cream and Gruyere cheese. Sprinkle chives over top, if using. Bake on a baking sheet until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

I did it in a 9x11 pan. Pre cooked the 1/8 in thick potatoe slices for more like 6 minutes, added closer to 3cups of shredded Swiss, smoked Gouda, and medium cheddar ( what we had and baked at 375 for 45. This was THE PERFECT Dauphinoise! We really can't eat out anymore. Did use the chopped scallion on top.. Yummm.

These were amazing! One of the best potato dishes I ever made! Definitely not too healthy, but worth every calorie
