Ingredients

  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
  • 3 pounds yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, divided
  • 2 ½ cups (10 ounces) Gruyere cheese, shredded, divided
  • 1 ½ cups (298 g) heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice potatoes using a mandolin for uniformity. Be careful to keep the shape of the potato. When using a mandolin, it is best to slice right onto the cutting board. Set aside.
  • Layer butter at bottom of cast iron pan.
  • Carefully set the potato slices (trying to keep the shape of the potato together) on top of the butter.
  • Remove thyme leaves from stem. Use half on potatoes, reserve remaining for on top after done cooking.
  • Top with the minced garlic, salt, pepper, 2 cups of the cheese (reserve ½ cup of cheese for later), and chopped bacon.
  • Pour cream over the top of the dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  •  Remove dish from oven and remove foil. Add the final ½ cup of cheese and return to oven. Bake for an additional 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and add remaining thyme. Serve immediately.
