Most potatoes au gratin recipes give you a crispy top and soft, creamy layers underneath. This one flips that by stacking thin slices of russet potato on their sides instead of layering them flat, so nearly every bite has that golden, crispy edge. Gruyere and parmesan melt right into the cream sauce with garlic and thyme, and the whole thing comes together in about 20 minutes of hands-on prep.
