Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lay the potatoes on a baking tray and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle with the tarragon and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
In a small pot, warm the cream, garlic, shallots, nutmeg and rosemary.
Season with salt and pepper.
The potatoes are done when a knife can pierce them with no resistance.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to an 8 cup oven proof baking dish.
Using a fork roughly smash the potatoes until they're broken up.
Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and lay the sliced shallot over the surface.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyere over the potatoes and then finish with the grated Parmesan.
Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes and the cheese is melted and the cream is golden and bubbling.
Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
