Preparation Preheat oven to 325°. Cut 1 garlic clove in half and rub the inside of a 3-qt. shallow baking dish with cut sides. Smear butter all over inside of dish. Bring shallots, cream, salt, pepper, 1 Tbsp. thyme, and remaining 4 garlic cloves to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat; cook until shallots and garlic are very soft, 15–20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer to a blender; blend until smooth.

Arrange potato slices in prepared dish, fanning out a handful at a time and placing in dish at an angle (this ensures every scoop will have tender potatoes from the bottom and crisp edges from the top). Shingle as you work until bottom of dish is covered. Tuck smaller slices into any gaps to fill. Pour cream mixture over potatoes and cover dish tightly with foil.

Bake potatoes until tender and creamy, 60–75 minutes. Let cool.

Place rack in highest position; heat broiler. Remove foil and top potatoes with Gruyère and Parmesan. Broil until cheese is bubbling and top of gratin is golden brown, 5–10 minutes.

Serve topped with more thyme leaves.

Do Ahead: Gratin can be baked 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Bring to room temperature before broiling.

MOTOR CO.

Leftover Mashed Potato Pizza Pizza: 5 ounces slab bacon, finely diced (about 1 cup) 1 1/2 pounds prepared pizza dough, at room temperature All-purpose flour, for dusting Olive oil, for drizzling Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes, slightly warm 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (about 5 ounces) 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 leek (white and light green parts only), very thinly sliced 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (about 1 ounce) Directions For the pizza: Put a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F (for at least 30 minutes).

Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat renders and the bacon is just short of being crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Divide the dough into 2 equal portions; form each into a ball. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll one ball into a 12-inch round on the floured surface (cover the other piece with a kitchen towel). Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour and slide the dough onto the peel. Drizzle the dough lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slip the dough onto the preheated stone and cook until just set, about 4 minutes.

Using the peel, remove the dough from the oven and spread half of the mashed potatoes over the top, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella on the potatoes, then top with half of the garlic and leeks. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Return the pizza to the stone and cook until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the pizza, top with half of the Parmesan and basil leaves and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

Roasted Beets with Herbs Ingredients 2 bunches baby beets, peeled and halved Olive oil, for roasting Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the beets in enough olive oil to thoroughly coat. Season with some salt and pepper.

Spread the beets on a large baking sheet without crowding. Roast until browned around the edges and fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Toss them with the parsley and tarragon and serve.
