Creamy Microwave Potato Gratin with Gruyère
"Indulge in the decadent French classic of bubbling Gruyère and tender potatoes, reinvented for modern life without sacrificing a drop of gourmet flavor."
Instructions
Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in a microwave-safe shallow dish, layering them slightly for even cooking. Dot the potatoes with butter, cover loosely, and microwave on high power for 8–10 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and uncover. Season the potatoes evenly with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle the minced garlic over the surface.
Pour the cream evenly over the potatoes, allowing it to settle between the layers. Finish with an even layer of grated Gruyère cheese.
Return the dish to the microwave uncovered and cook on high power for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted, lightly bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Let the gratin rest for about 2 minutes to set slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm.
