Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. A mandoline slicer works great for this step.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and add the salt and ground black pepper. Stir well and heat until the mixture is warm, but do not let it boil. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in the greased casserole dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the first potato layer.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top, followed by the remaining cream mixture, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish. Sprinkle paprika if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a hearty comforting main course!
