Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for the most consistent results, if available.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes, spreading it gently. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of cheddar cheese on top.
In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top layer of cheddar cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and color.
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent dish as a main course or a hearty side!
