- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a seasoning base for your potatoes.

- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- If you like, sprinkle a bit of paprika over the top before serving for an extra pop of color.
