A creamy, indulgent potato gratin enhanced by the luxurious softness of brie, perfect for gatherings and cozy meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups thickened / heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.25 kg / 2.5 lb starchy potatoes (e.g. Russet)
- 1 tsp cooking / kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp thyme leaves (fresh, optional)
- 3 x 125g / 4oz small brie (cut in half horizontally)
Instructions
- Place butter, cream, and garlic in a jug. Mix until combined.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them 1/8″/3 mm thick.
- Spread 1/3 of the potatoes in a baking dish. Pour over 1/3 of the cream mixture and scatter with 1/3 of the salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Repeat for the second and third layers, ensuring to use up all the ingredients evenly.
- Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the potatoes in the middle are soft.

- Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Letting the dish rest before serving enhances flavor. Consider using a mandoline slicer for even potato slices.
