Remove the sage and thyme from the milk and pour over the potatoes, top with Gruyere cheese; cover the skillet tightly with foil or a lid.
- Bake on the second rack from the top of the oven, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove the lid and broil until the cheese is slightly browned and golden, about 3 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.
