Why This Recipe Works
Best Cooking Tips
- Grate the cheese fresh for the best melt and flavor.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set.
Step 1
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and let it simmer for about a minute. Gradually add the flour, a tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly so it blends smoothly—this should take around 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly pour in 1 cup of water while whisking to keep things lump-free, then take the pan off the heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2/3 cup water with the cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the gravy and whisk everything together. Give the gravy a quick stir, then season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme and rosemary, followed by the Swiss and Gruyere cheeses, stirring until the cheeses melt into the sauce.
Step 3
Toss in the sliced potatoes, scallions, and garlic, making sure each potato slice is nicely coated with the cheesy gravy. Pour everything into an 8-inch square baking dish and bake in a 375°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and deliciously cooked through.
