Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes

- Wash and peel potatoes (optional โ you can keep the skins for a rustic look).
- Slice each potato hasselback-style: cut thin slices ยพ of the way down, without cutting through. (Tip: place the potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through).

- Pour in cream and milk, then stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat gently until warm but not boiling.
3. Assemble the Dish
- Place potatoes upright in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes, letting it seep into the slices.
- Sprinkle Gruyรจre cheese in between the potato slices (use your fingers or a spoon to tuck some in).
- Sprinkle Parmesan over the top.
4. Bake
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 20โ25 minutes, until potatoes are tender inside and golden crispy on top.
- If desired, broil for 2โ3 minutes at the end for an extra crispy finish.
5. Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve hot as a side with roasted chicken, beef, or even as a vegetarian main dish.
๐ Tips & Variations
- Extra cheesy: Add a layer of cheddar for more richness.
- Creamy onion flavor: Mix caramelized onions into the cream before baking.
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes or paprika.
