A deliciously creamy and cheesy potato bake that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs starchy potatoes (Russets or Yukon Golds), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper; whisk until blended.
  3. Layer half of the potato slices in the baking dish, pour half of the cream mixture over them, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  4. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cream mixture; top with more cheese.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
