Potato Au Gratin without a Mandoline! | Chef Jean-Pierre

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

gruyere cheese

🥗Healthier: emmental cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is more accessible and provides a similar flavor profile.

Preheat the oven.

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into slices using a knife.

Soak the sliced potatoes in water.

Heat heavy whipping cream until warm, then add nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and thinly sliced garlic.

Poach the potato slices in the cream mixture for about 6-7 minutes.

Remove the potatoes from the cream and let them cool slightly.

Mix gruyere cheese, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese in a bowl to create a cheese custard.

Arrange the poached potatoes in a baking dish, layering with the cheese custard in between.

Top with additional cheese if desired.

Bake in the oven until golden brown and bubbly.
