This Cheesy Herb Potato Gratin is thinly layered in an easy homemade cream sauce and baked until tender, golden, and bubbly. Potato perfection!
The Thanksgiving holiday gives us a reason to gather together, give thanks for bounteous blessings, and celebrate our gratitude with glorious food. Classic Thanksgiving recipes come from treasured recipe boxes of mothers and grandmothers. Rich ingredients are mixed and baked to create a spectacular meal.
I want to share this potato gratin recipe that I’ve been making for years. It’s the perfect potato dish to share with loved ones. Who can resist thinly sliced, herb-speckled potatoes smothered in a creamy sauce, topped with cheese, and baked until beautifully golden?

How to make Cheesy Herb Potato Gratin:
Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease a baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter. I used a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
Peel potatoes, and, using a mandolin or vegetable slicer, cut into very thin slices.
In a large bowl, combine cream, shredded cheddar, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, rosemary, and salt and pepper.
Add sliced potatoes and toss together until all potatoes are well coated. Be careful not to break the thin potato slices.
Working with a small handful of potatoes, gently line up coated slices in the baking dish or skillet. Pour the excess cream mixture over the potatoes.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the potatoes. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from oven, uncover potatoes (You can sprinkle top with shredded white cheddar cheese if you want), and continue to bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
