Equipment

  • 10-inch cast-iron skillet
  • mandolin or vegetable slicer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 6 small Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley or 1-2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary finely minced
  • 8 ounces Gruyère cheese or sharp white cheddar, grated (2 cups)
  • ½ cup thinly sliced yellow onion chopped
  • ½ cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375ºF. Brush inside of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with olive oil and set aside.
  • Peel potatoes, and, using a mandolin or vegetable slicer, cut into very thin slices. In a large bowl and using your hands, gently toss potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, sage, parsley, rosemary, cheese (reserve a little bit for the top), and onion, until everything is evenly mixed. Be careful not to break the thin potato slices.
  • Working with a small handful of potatoes at a time, gently line up coated slices in prepared skillet or 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. Pour milk and broth over potatoes. Cover pan with foil and seal around edges.
  • Bake 50 minutes and remove foil. Continue to bake until potatoes are tender and top is golden, 15-20 minutes more. You can test the potatoes with a knife to see if they are tender throughout. Cool slightly and serve hot.
