Equipment

  • Large baking dish
  • Sharp knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lbs Russet Potatoes
  • 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your baking dish with butter. This prevents the potatoes from sticking.
  • Peel all of your russet potatoes. Slice them into very thin rounds. Try to keep them equal in size.
  • Layer half of the potatoes in the dish. Add a layer of sliced onions next. Sprinkle half of your cheese on top.
  • Whisk the heavy cream and garlic together. Add salt and pepper to the liquid. Pour half of this over the potatoes.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes. Add the rest of the cream mixture. Top it with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil tightly. Bake in the oven for forty-five minutes. This softens the potatoes well.
  • Remove the foil after forty-five minutes. Bake for another fifteen minutes. Wait for the top to turn golden.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes thinly for even and fast cooking.
  • Use a mandolin for perfect and uniform slices.
  • Always use full-fat cream for the best taste.
  • Let the dish rest before serving it.
  • Grate your own cheese for better melting results.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra depth.
