Ingredients

1 teaspoon unsalted butter (2 g)
4 cups heavy cream (930 g)
2 teaspoons salt, divided (4 g)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (2 g)
3 to 3 1/4 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices (1575 g)
8 ounces Swiss cheese, grated (225 g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit. Polish a 2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside for later use.
In a large deep saucepan, pour in the heavy cream and simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, stirring constantly to allow the flavors to blend. Mix in the potatoes, adding more cream if necessary to completely submerge the potatoes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stew until the potatoes are barely fork-prick tender, or for about 10 to 12 minutes. Then, remove from heat.
Using a huge ladle, transfer 1/3 of the potatoes with some of the cream to the prepared baking dish, forming an even layer on the bottom; top with 1/3 of the Swiss cheese.
Continue layering the potatoes and topping with cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 more minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
