Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the olive oil.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/8-inch thick. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan with the butter and garlic. Stir in the black pepper, salt, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook the mixture on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until warmed through. Remove from heat.
Drain and pat the potato slices dry. Arrange half the potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated. Layer the remaining potatoes on top and pour the rest of the cream mixture over them.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
