Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Chef Knife
  • Large Sauté Pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs YUKON GOLD POTATOES
  • 1 large FENNEL BULB
  • 2 medium YELLOW ONIONS
  • 2 cups HEAVY CREAM
  • 2 cups GRUYERE CHEESE
  • 4 tbsp UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 2 tbsp ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1 tsp KOSHER SALT
  • 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

  • Peel your potatoes and slice them into thin rounds. Slice the fennel and onions into very thin pieces too. This ensures everything cooks at the same speed together.
  • Melt the butter in your large sauté pan now. Add the onions and fennel to the hot pan. Sauté them over medium heat until they are soft.
  • Stir the flour into the cooked vegetables very slowly. Cook for one minute to remove the raw flour taste. This starts the thickening process for your cream sauce.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the pan with veggies. Stir until the sauce starts to bubble and get thick. Remove it from the heat and add some salt.
  • Layer the sliced potatoes in your greased baking dish. Pour the warm cream and onion mixture over the potatoes. Toss them gently to coat every single potato slice.
  • Top the dish with plenty of grated Gruyere cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until the top is golden brown. Let it sit for ten minutes before you serve.

Notes

  • Slice the potatoes to an even and thin size.
  • Sauté the fennel until it is very soft today.
  • Use fresh Gruyere cheese for the best melted top.
  • Do not boil the cream too hard in pan.
  • Let the dish rest before cutting into it now.
  • Grease your baking dish well to prevent any sticking.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best creamy texture.
  • Add extra cheese if you like a thicker crust.
