Turnip and Potato Gratin
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed
  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 large turnip, peeled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup half-and-half
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if your oven prefers metric).
2
Next, take a moment to lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish with butter.
3
Then, using a sharp kitchen tool called a mandoline, carefully slice the potatoes and turnip into extremely thin layers, almost paper-thin.
4
Now, create a layered effect by placing half of the sliced potatoes and turnip at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
5
Add a sprinkle of fragrant thyme leaves over the top, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
6
Top this layer off with half a cup of creamy Monterey Jack cheese.
7
Add the remaining sliced potatoes and turnip on top, followed by another sprinkle of thyme leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper.
8
Pour an equal amount of half-and-half over the top layer, followed by a generous helping of remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
9
Cover your dish with a lid to trap the flavors and heat.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
11
Once done, remove the lid and continue baking until the top is golden brown and bubbly, adding a few extra minutes to your cooking time.
12
Finally, let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving and enjoying.
