Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes (about 5 medium-sized), peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter, for greasing
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Layer the potatoes: Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish. Overlap them slightly to ensure no gaps.
- Add cream mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, garlic, and onions. Bring to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper. Pour a third of this mixture over the layered potatoes.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle a third of both cheeses over the potatoes.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering the potatoes, cream mixture, and cheeses until all are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
- Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
This dish is perfect as a hearty side for dinner or during the holidays. It’s rich, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser!
