Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes
Heavy Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
Onion
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Spices
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking. Rinse them under cold water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with heavy cream, shredded cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until the potatoes are well coated in the creamy mixture.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the potato mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. For an extra cheesy top, sprinkle more shredded cheese over the surface.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. After that, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. This lets the flavors meld beautifully and makes it easier to scoop out portions.
Notes
- Slice Uniformly: Ensure even cooking by slicing your potatoes to the same thickness.
- Soak in Water: Soaking sliced potatoes in water helps remove excess starch, resulting in creamier potatoes.
- Layering: For added flavor, consider layering some cheese and onion between the potato layers.
- Rest Before Serving: Letting the dish sit for a few minutes after baking helps the flavors settle.
- Experiment with Cheese: Don’t hesitate to mix different types of cheese for a more complex flavor.
