Individual Potato Gratin

Individual Potato Gratin - thinly sliced potatoes, heavy cream, thyme and gruyere cheese - bake in individual ramekins. SO easy and SO delicious. Ready in under 30 minutes. One of our favorite potato side dishes!!! Everyone loves these potatoes.

I picked up this recipe at Williams Sonoma last weekend and immediately added it to our menu.  It looks fancy, but it was really simple to make.  I cheated and used some Simply Potatoes Homestyle Slices, but feel free to slice your own potatoes.  This tasted amazing!!  I was really impressed.  We served this with the Italian BBQ Marinade that I posted yesterday.  It was an easy and fabulous meal!

Individual Potato Gratin
(Printable Recipe)

  • 2 packages Simply Potatoes Homestyle Slices (or 2 lb russet potatoes thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 6 oz. Gruyère cheese, shredded

Preheat an oven to 400°F.

Set eight ramekins on the baking sheet.

Divide the potato slices among the ramekins, staggering the slices so each layer lies flat.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Add 4 oz. of the cheese to the cream mixture and stir until melted. Slowly pour about ¼ cup of the cream mixture into each ramekin. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 oz. cheese, dividing evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is browned. Let stand for 10 minutes, then serve.

  1. Two questions, based on wanting to Pre-prepare:
    1) Can you slice the potatoes in advance? Or, better yet…
    2) Can I prepare everything, and then put the ramekins in the refrigerator until I’m ready to bake? If so, should I adjust the time or heat for baking?

    TIA!

    1. You can do either one. The only issue with slicing fresh potatoes in advance is that they start to turn brown. They are 100% edible but just not as pretty.

      1. That’s just the starch from the potato! Slice, then cover with water. After 5 minutes (ish!), rinse and dry. Then use in recipe. Easy Peasy!

  2. I think I'll make these this weekend! My kids don't like au gratin potatoes and making a casserole takes up so much space in the fridge with leftovers. Now I can just make enough for Alexis and me (and then of course Trevor will want some, right?).

  3. These individual serving would be a great way to stop me from eating so many of these – potatoes au gratin are one of my favorites. They look SO tasty!

  4. I really like individual serving side dishes and this recipe sounds super good. You've been busy this week while I was away.

  5. How do you think this would taste with something other than gruyere? My husband isn't really a fan.
