Gruyere Potatoes are cheesy and bursting with so much flavor! Stacked tall, these potatoes will satisfy all your potato cravings!
Honestly, gruyere is such an underrated cheese! Why do we not cook with it more often?! It adds such a great flavor to everything. That’s it – more gruyere recipes! I’m on a personal mission!
We have a couple (Gruyere Sweet Potato Stacks, Smoked Gruyere Scalloped Potatoes), but we need mooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee!!
These stacked potatoes are perfect for a side dish, an appetizer or for game day! I’m writing this in the middle of the coronavirus mess, so if you’re like me, you’re just praying for game days! Whether they happen or not, these gruyere potatoes should definitely be happening!
What Do You Need to Make Gruyere Potatoes?
The ingredients list for this recipe is short and sweet and everything good in this world. Ok, not everything good because it’s missing chocolate and peanut butter and a few other good things, but here’s the list:
- Gruyere Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Thyme (fresh)
- Course Sea Salt
- Garlic
- Yukon Gold Potatoes
- Butter
It will also be very helpful if you have a mandoline (see link in the recipe card)! It will save you loads of time slicing those potatoes.
How to Make Oven Baked Gruyere Potatoes
Something so delicious has honestly never been easier. I’m going to give you the basic steps here. Head down to the recipe card for all the details.
- Slice the potatoes
- Combine all the ingredients (except the butter and potatoes) in a plastic bag or bowl
- Add the potatoes and melted butter to a large bowl and stir to coat. Get in there with your hands to unstick the potato slices and make sure everything gets coated.

- Bake the potato stacks until golden
- Remove the stacks from the muffin tin and serve immediately!
What Are Gruyere Potatoes?
Gruyere potatoes are potatoes that are thinly sliced and layered with gruyere cheese.
Are Potatoes A Vegetable?
Potatoes are a starchy vegetable.
They can be counted toward your vegetable intake, but you should also remember that they are considered a carbohydrate.
What Are The Benefits Of Eating Potatoes?
Potatoes are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6.
Potatoes have a lack of cholesterol, making them a heart-friendly food.
What Does Gruyere Cheese Taste Like?
Gruyere is sweet but slightly salty, and its flavor varies widely with age.
It is creamy and nutty when young, and becomes more assertive, earthy, and complex as it ages.
What Could You Substitute For Gruyere Cheese?
If you have a hard time finding gruyere you can also use Emmental, Jarlsberg, Beaufort, Comté or Raclette cheese to substitute for gruyere cheese.
Can You Substitute Dry Thyme Leaves For Fresh?
Yes, you can substitute dry thyme for fresh thyme.
It will take less dry thyme in a recipe than fresh thyme.
For instance, one Tablespoon of fresh thyme would be substituted with one teaspoon for dried thyme.
Are White Potatoes The Same As Yukon Gold?
White potatoes are not the same as yukon gold potatoes.
Yukon gold potatoes are yellow gold in color and are slightly sweet with a slightly waxy texture and moist flesh.
Red or thin skinned white potatoes could be used as substitutes for Yukon Gold.
There’s nothing to not like about these cheesy stacks of potato goodness! I’m praying you’re making gruyere potatoes for a game day party right now, but if football isn’t involved, I’m at least hoping you love these as much as we do and eating them alongside a perfectly cooked steak!

We really enjoyed these! They’d be great for a dinner party, thank you for sharing!
Yay! Thank you Melissa! This recipe is one of my favorites!!
When you say these potatoes will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, does that mean you can make them that far ahead before baking them? I hope so. I just need them to stay good for a several hours after assembling them. Or does it mean they’ll keep for that long after you’ve cooked them? Thanks!
Hi Kari! Yes, you could definitely make them several hours ahead of time and then bake them! After they are baked, they will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Can these be made ahead of time and reheated for dinner?
Hi Christine! Technically yes, but they end up soft and not crispy.
Delicious and pretty! Perfect for a nice dinner party as a side dish. Thank you! I pre-ordered your new cookbook and can’t wait!!!
Yay! Thank you so much Kristina!
