Ingredients

1 (1 pound) fennel bulb with fronds
2 pounds boiling potatoes
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (3 ounces)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 °F with rack in lower third of oven. Butter a 2-quart shallow flameproof gratin pan or baking dish (not glass.)
Cut fronds from fennel and chop enough to measure 1 tablespoon. Set aside. Cut off and discard stalks. Quarter fennel lengthwise and cut very thinly with slicer into a large bowl.

Transfer vegetables to gratin dish, spreading them out in an even layer, and cover tightly with foil.
Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 °F and continue to bake until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes more.
Remove from oven and remove foil, then sprinkle gratin evenly with cheese.
Preheat broiler and broil gratin 4 to 5 inches from heat just until cheese is lightly golden 4 to 5 minutes.
Let gratin stand 5 minutes before serving.
