A comforting dish that transforms humble ingredients into a rich, creamy, and utterly delicious comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale:
3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfectly baked dish with a nice, golden top.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
In a greased baking dish, layer half of the seasoned potatoes. Pour half of the heavy cream over the potatoes, then sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, cream, and another cup of cheddar cheese. Top with small pieces of butter scattered around for added richness.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. This will help the potatoes steam and cook through.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, for a fresh touch.
