INGREDIENTS
3 lbs Russet or Yukon gold Potatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
1 cup Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup Whole Milk
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Rosemary, fresh and finely chopped
1 tbsp Thyme, fresh, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter for greasing the baking dish
Fresh chives for garnish, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the cheese mix: In a bowl, combine Gruyère, Cheddar, and Parmesan. Set aside.
3. Prepare the herb cream sauce: In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream and milk over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring for a few minutes until the flavors meld.
4. Layer the potatoes and cheese:
Place a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle a layer of the cheese mix over the potatoes.
Pour about a third of the herb cream sauce over the cheese.
Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and potatoes are fork-tender.
6. Garnish with fresh chives before serving for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Tips:
For added richness, try a little truffle oil drizzle before serving.
For a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes but keep a close watch!

This layered, herby, and cheesy scalloped potato dish will bring both depth and indulgence to your holiday table!
