8 ounces baby yellow potatoes
8 ounces pie pumpkin
1 teaspoon butter
1 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
½ teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.

Layer 1/2 of the potato slices on top, season with salt and pepper, add 1/4 of the thyme, and 1/4 of the Gruyere.

  • Pour half and half evenly over the top and cover with aluminum foil.
