Description
Transform simple ingredients into a comforting side dish with these creamy cheesy scalloped potatoes, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and add a touch of flavor.
- Slice the russet potatoes thinly, aiming for even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Layer the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, adding layers of sharp cheddar cheese and diced onions between the potato layers. Feel free to sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper for extra flavor!
- Heat the heavy cream with minced garlic over medium heat until warmed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potato layers, ensuring each slice gets a good soak in that creamy goodness.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes to make the potatoes tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let it sit for a few minutes before serving; this allows the layers to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
