Ingredients
8 large
Long potatoes (about 5 1/2-in. long)
1 tablespoon
black pepper (1/2 while cooking, 1/2 at the end.
1 1/2 teaspoons
Salt (can cut in 1/2 if on DASH)
3 tablespoons
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
salted butter
1 cup
White onion (sliced vertically)
1 tablespoon
garlic cloves (mashed or minced)
1
Large thyme sprig
1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
Heavy cream
1 1/2 cups
Gruyère or Swiss cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons
Chopped fresh chives
Step by Step Instructions
- Peel potatoes; cut off tops and bottoms to make flat ends. Cut potatoes in half crosswise to make 2 (roughly 2-inch tall) pieces from each potato. Sprinkle 1 end of potatoes with salt. Heat oil and butter in a large, 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes, standing them on their salted end. Cook, basting with butter mixture periodically, until well browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Flip potatoes and cook other end, basting periodically, until browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate to let cool down.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Add onion, garlic, and thyme to skillet over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Stir in cream, and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Stir in cheese, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to melt before adding more.
- Return potatoes to skillet, standing them on their end; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Plate as a meal or side, sprinkle with chives and pepper, serve with sauce.
