Why This Recipe Works
Creamy, cheesy, and full of comforting flavors. It combines tender potatoes with rich Swiss cheese for a warm and satisfying meal. It’s perfect for family dinners or cozy nights in.
Step 1
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and let it simmer for about a minute. Gradually add the flour, a tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly so it blends smoothly—this should take around 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly pour in 1 cup of water while whisking to keep things lump-free, then take the pan off the heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2/3 cup water with the cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the gravy and whisk everything together. Give the gravy a quick stir, then season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme and rosemary, followed by the Swiss and Gruyere cheeses, stirring until the cheeses melt into the sauce.
Step 3
Toss in the sliced potatoes, scallions, and garlic, making sure each potato slice is nicely coated with the cheesy gravy. Pour everything into an 8-inch square baking dish and bake in a 375°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and deliciously cooked through.

Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the texture creamy and smooth. Avoid microwaving to prevent drying out.

How do I know when the potatoes are fully cooked?
