Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Gruyère Potato Gratin.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with some softened butter, ensuring it’s ready to hold all those delicious layers.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine your sliced potatoes and chopped onions, then season them generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to build your first layer: spread one-third of this potato and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Next, sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyère cheese over this first layer, adding a rich, nutty flavor that will make your dish irresistible.
Step 6
Follow this with another layer of the potato mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Now, it’s time for the grand finale: top everything off with the remaining Gruyère cheese, and then add the last layer of potatoes on top.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, mix together some white wine and water, creating a lovely blend that will enhance the flavors of your dish.
Step 9
Pour this mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, allowing it to seep into every nook and cranny.
Step 10
Cover your baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 11
Let it bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and fragrant.
Step 12
Once the time is up, carefully remove the foil and pour heavy cream evenly over the top of the potatoes.
Step 13
This step is where the magic happens! Return the dish to the oven, this time uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Step 14
This will allow the cream to thicken beautifully and the top to turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 15
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your deliciously creamy potato dish, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
