Gorgonzola Potatoes au Gratin Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 lb starchy potatoes (e.g. Russet potatoes (1kg))
• 3/4 cup parmesan (grated)
• 3/4 cup gorgonzola cheese (cut into cubes)
• 2 tsp black cumin seeds
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 tsp thyme leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut the garlic clove in half and rub a round skillet (9“ / 23cm) or medium baking dish (about 8") with it. Then grease your dish with 1 tbsp of butter.

2. 2

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8“ (3mm) thick slices.

3. 3

   Mix cream and milk together.

4. 4

   Layer 1/3 of the potatoes in the dish, then pour 1/3 of the cream mixture on top. Sprinkle 1/3 of the parmesan cheese, gorgonzola cheese, black cumin seed, salt, pepper, butter, and thyme leaves on top.

5. 5

   Repeat for the 2nd and 3rd layer with the rest of the ingredients.

6. 6

   Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil after 50 minutes to get the top golden. After taking the dish out of the oven let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
