Generously butter a medium to large ovenproof gratin dish with one-third of the butter. Place half the potato slices neatly in the dish and top with the grated Gruyère cheese. Cover with the remaining potatoes, taking time to make a regular pattern with the slices. Sprinkle the Beaufort cheese on top and dot with knobs of the remaining butter.
Carefully add the chicken stock.

Hot Tips
Cooking artichokes
Remove several layers of the bitter exterior leaves and trim remaining leaves before submerging and cooking artichokes in salted water for around 15 minutes (use a dinner plate on top of the artichokes to keep them under water). A thin skewer should meet little resistance when they are cooked.
Glossary
