You can use baking or boiling potatoes for this
hearty, yet elegant dish.
Makes 6 servings
6 ounces Gruyère cheese, cut into
1-inch pieces
4 medium garlic cloves
2 medium onions, quartered
5 cups whole milk or half-and-half
½
1 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
6 large potatoes (about 10 ounces each),
peeled and cut flat at ends
Butter for baking dish
Preheat oven to 400°F and butter a 4-quart
baking dish. Insert metal blade. Put cheese in
food processor and pulse until finely chopped,
about 6 to 8 times. Remove and reserve. With
the machine running, drop garlic through feed
tube to finely chop. Add onions and pulse to
finely chop, about 3 to 4 times. Put onion/
garlic mixture in saucepan with milk, salt and
pepper.
Shred potatoes with shredding disc, one at

shredded potatoes to saucepan and bring mix-
ture to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent
