Petunjuk

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, mix the cream, garlic, thyme, 3/4 cup of gruyere (save 1/4 cup for topping), all of the parmesan, salt and pepper.

Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline slicer or knife. If you aren't ready to add them to the pan right away, place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water to keep them from browning.

In a cast iron pan, add the butter and shallots and fry on medium-low heat for 3 minutes until the shallots have softened and slightly caramelized.

Arrange the sliced potatoes in a spiral pattern on top of the cooked shallots. I start with a single layer around the edge and then another layer closer to the center. Be carful as the hot skillet may still be too hot to touch.

Pour the cream mixture over top of the potatoes.

Cover the cast iron pan tightly with a piece of aluminum foil or a lid if you have one. Place the cast iron pan into the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven, take off the foil, top with remaining 1/4 cup gruyere, and bake another 30 minutes or until cheese is nice and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and serve warm.
