Certainly! Here's a step-by-step recipe for Potato Gratin:

Ingredients:

2 pounds (about 4-5 medium-sized) russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (or your choice of cheese)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)
Butter for greasing the baking dish
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. A mandoline slicer can be helpful for achieving uniform slices.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning.

Step 3: Make the Cream Mixture

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Heat the cream mixture until it's warm, but not boiling. Stir to combine the ingredients.

Step 4: Grease the Baking Dish

Butter a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Layer the Potatoes

Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the buttered baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices.

Step 6: Add Cheese and Cream Mixture

Sprinkle a portion of the shredded Gruyere and grated Parmesan cheese over the layer of potatoes.
Pour a portion of the warm cream mixture over the cheese and potatoes.

Step 7: Repeat Layers

Repeat the layering process until you run out of potatoes, ensuring the top layer has a generous amount of cheese and cream.

Step 8: Bake

Bake the potato gratin in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the potatoes are tender.

Step 9: Rest

Allow the potato gratin to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the dish set.

Step 10: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the Potato Gratin as a delicious side dish.

Step 11: Enjoy!

This Potato Gratin is a rich and comforting dish with layers of thinly sliced potatoes baked in a creamy and cheesy sauce. It's a perfect side dish for special occasions or as a comforting addition to any meal. Enjoy!
