Ingredients

6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup diced cooked ham
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 2: Assemble the Gratin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish.
Arrange half of the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the dish.
Add a layer of diced ham over the potatoes.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the ham and potatoes.

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 3: Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Let the gratin cool slightly before serving.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Tips for the Best Potato Gratin

Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking.
Use a mix of cheeses like Gruyère and mozzarella for extra flavor.
Let the gratin rest for a few minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
