Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons butter, plus more for pan
2 medium fennel bulbs, (8 ounces each)
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Trim fennel bulbs; halve, and core. Slice bulbs and potatoes very thin (1/8 inch thick).
  • Add potatoes to prepared dish in three layers, alternating with two layers of fennel; season each layer with salt and pepper, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Asiago, and dot with 1/2 tablespoon butter. (Omit cheese from final layer.)
  • Pour cream over top. Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup grated Asiago; bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
