For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or Fontina cheese in place of Monterey Jack. If you don't have a mandoline, a sharp knife and a steady hand will work, but aim for consistent slice thickness for even cooking. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as rosemary or sage, in addition to or in place of the thyme.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9-inch gratin dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepUsing a mandoline, slice the potatoes and turnip into 1/8-inch-thick slices. (15 minutes)
03
StepLayer half of the potatoes and turnip in the bottom of the prepared gratin dish. Sprinkle half of the thyme leaves over the top; season generously with salt and black pepper. Top with 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. (10 minutes)
04
StepLayer the remaining potatoes and turnip on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves; season with salt and black pepper. Pour the half-and-half evenly over the top, then cover with the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the gratin dish with foil. (10 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes covered. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is browned and bubbly, about 10 minutes more. (50 minutes)
06
StepLet the gratin sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to set slightly. (10 minutes)
