A cozy layer of creamy potatoes elevated with rich cheeses, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and all the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared dish, followed by half of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers.
  6. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to rush the sautéing of the garlic; it should be fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness. Choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
