"The potato gratin is a simple dish, yet a tribute to the delicious marriage of potatoes, cream and cheese. Baked in a cast-iron skillet until golden brown and brought to the table bubbling hot."

ingredients

  • 2 Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter cut in cubes
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • dash nutmeg
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 each, salt and black pepper

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 350. In a mixing bowl combine the milk, cream, garlic, nutmeg, cayenne and salt and pepper and stir to combine.

  • Step 2

    Dot the bottom of the cast-iron skillet with some of the butter. Add a layer of sliced potatoes in a concentric circle to the skillet. Add a layer of the cheese, then pour in ⅓ of the milk mixture. Make two more layers for a total of three. Sliced potatoes, butter cubes, cheese, then the milk mixture.

  • Step 3

    Place the cast-iron skillet in the oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. When the gratin is golden-brown, hot and bubbling it's ready to come out of the oven. Let it sit 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve. Garnish with fresh rosemary
