Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious dish:
- 2 lbs of russet potatoes, thinly sliced

- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Alright, now that we got our ingredients all lined up, let’s get cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that heat going!
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the onions and garlic, sautéing them until they become soft and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk it all together until it’s well mixed.
- In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Spread half of the sautéed onions and garlic over those slices, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Pour half of the creamy mixture over that magical layer. Then repeat the process with the remaining potatoes, onions, garlic, and cheese.
- Once that’s all done, cover the baking dish with foil and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes. This allows those flavors to blend beautifully.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for that visual pop!
