Potato Apple Gratin
3 eggs
3 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 pounds Granny Smith apples (unpeeled), cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 pound Swiss cheese, shredded
1/4 pound Parmesan, grated
1. Heat oven to 400b F.
2. Coat two springform pans with cooking spray. (I use one 12-inch and one 10-inch). In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, thyme, salt, and pepper; set aside. Cover with foil for baking.
3. Arrange a layer of slightly overlapping potatoes in the casserole. Cover with a layer of apples and sprinkle with a third of each cheese. Pour a third of the egg mixture on top. Make 2 more layers.
4. Bake, covered, 1 hour, 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Remove from oven. Serve warm or at room temperature.
