Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Potatoes
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even slices (about 1/8-inch thick) using a knife or mandoline slicer.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium-low until warm but not boiling, then remove from heat.
Spread one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour one-third of the warm cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process twice more, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top layer, and sprinkle paprika if desired for added color and flavor.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Let the potato bake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a delicious side dish or a comforting main course.
