Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 5 hrs

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Pinch of nutmeg

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, garlic, thyme and nutmeg over medium heat until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add a layer of potatoes to a 4-qt slow cooker in an overlapping pattern; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour 1/3 cup cream mixture over potatoes; sprinkle with Gruyere. Repeat with remaining potato slices, cream mixture and Gruyere to create 2 more layers.
