Gratin of Yukon Gold Potatoes image

Years ago, one of the first meals I served my newlywed son and wife included this gratin. It's delicious without a lot of extra fat. There are some similar potato gratin recipes here, but none exactly the same. This is the one I know and love, the original, published by Martha Stewart in 1994.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb yukon gold potatoes, Yellow Finn or 1 lb any medium-starch potato
2/3 cup grated gruyere cheese, a high quality brand
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave (or, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, more if desired

fresh fresh thyme sprig, for garnish. (4 or 5) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-inch round or oval baking dish.
