Cheesy potatoes in a serving dish

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and get ready for some cheesy magic!
  2. Start by peeling and slicing your potatoes into thin rounds. They’ll cook more evenly this way.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Now, layer those potato slices in a greased baking dish. Pour half of the creamy mixture over the potatoes, and sprinkle a cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes are stacked up, ending with the remaining creamy mixture and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
  6. If you like a little crunch, add breadcrumbs on top for a crispy finish!
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch!

There you have it! A cheesy, creamy side that’s bound to bring smiles and satisfaction. Pair it with your main dish, and watch everyone come back for seconds (and maybe thirds)! Enjoy the good times and the great flavors.
