Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish to prevent sticking.
Arrange a single layer of potato slices in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a handful of cheddar cheese and a small amount of Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Drizzle with the cream mixture.
Repeat these layers (potatoes, cheeses, cream mixture) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish before serving.
