Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat until warmed through, then set aside.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with one-third of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a final layer of cream and cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes to set.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
