Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce:.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Stir in the garlic and thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring well. Cook for about a minute until it turns a light golden color.
Step 5: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6: Incorporate the Cheese:.
Step 7: Lower the heat and add 1/2 cup of the shredded Gruyere cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely into the sauce.
Step 8: Season the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg (if using), and adjust with salt and pepper to your taste.
Step 9: Assemble the Dish:.
Step 10: Spread a small amount of the sauce over the bottom of a large baking dish or cast iron pan.
Step 11: Arrange the sliced potatoes in layers, adding a spoonful of sauce between each layer. For extra creaminess, dip each potato slice into the sauce before layering.
Step 12: Pour any remaining sauce over the top of the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle the rest of the Gruyere cheese evenly on top.
Step 13: Bake:.
Step 14: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the dish uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 15: Enjoy!
Step 16: This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as a standalone indulgence.
