Heat oven to 350°F and place rack in center. Stir cream mixture; evenly pour over gratin. Cover with foil. Bake until bubbling and vegetables just start to soften, about 40 minutes. Remove foil.

Notes
• You can prep this potato gratin ahead and keep in the fridge up to 4 hours before baking. Just add extra cooking time on if baking cold.
