1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish.
Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheddar and Gruyère cheese until melted and smooth.
Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the cheese sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Keywords: For even cooking, use a mandoline slicer to cut potatoes uniformly. Experiment with different cheeses like Fontina or Monterey Jack for unique flavors. Let the dish sit after baking; it helps firm up for easier slicing.
