Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with rack in the lowest position. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Mince garlic in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil to create a garlic-infused oil. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in thyme. Set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Using the slicing blade of the food processor (or a mandoline/knife), thinly slice the potatoes. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Lightly brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with some of the garlic oil. Create 4 layers of potatoes, brushing generously with garlic oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper between each layer. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Slowly pour chicken broth into one corner of the dish, being careful not to displace the garlic and herbs. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake until most of the broth is absorbed and the potatoes are tender, approximately 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

07

Step

Move the dish to the middle rack and broil until the top is spotty brown, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the potatoes to further absorb the remaining liquid. (10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the chicken broth before baking.
The gratin can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. Reheat covered in foil to prevent excessive browning.
Russet potatoes provide the best starchy texture, but Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used for a slightly creamier result.

    My potatoes didn't get fully cooked after 45 min... ended up baking for an hour and 15 mins.

    I added a bit of nutmeg for warmth, and it was fantastic!

    I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make it vegetarian, and it was still delicious!

    Resting the gratin is key – it really does make a difference in the final texture.
