Cheesy Potato Casserole Recipe

Cheesy Potato Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5-6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
• 1 cup heavy cream or milk
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1-2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
   • Grease a baking dish with butter.
   • Arrange a layer of potato slices on the bottom.
   • Add a layer of onion slices (if using).
   • Sprinkle some minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
   • Add a handful of shredded cheese.
   • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
4. Add Cream: Pour the heavy cream or milk over the layered potatoes. The liquid should almost cover the potatoes, but the top layer should still be visible.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
6. Garnish: Once out of the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill.
7. Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

This dish makes a great side or even a main dish, especially when paired with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
