Equipment

  • Casserole dish (2 quarts)
  • Chef's knife or mandolin
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head green cabbage cored and thinly sliced (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1.5 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese such as mild cheddar, Colby, or Monterey Jack
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil to grease baking dish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart casserole with butter or oil.
  • Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them into even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Core and thinly slice the cabbage.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the kosher salt and black pepper into the heavy cream.
  • Arrange a single layer of overlapping potato slices on the bottom of the casserole dish, and then cover it with a handful of sliced cabbage.
  • Drizzle a bit of cream over the potatoes and cabbage, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Repeat with more layers of potatoes and cabbage until all of the vegetables have been used, finishing with a layer of potato.
  • Drizzle any remaining cream over the top, and cover with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Uncover the dish, and continue baking until the top is well browned and the vegetables are soft, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Allow the gratin to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
