Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we dive into the cooking, make sure you gather these ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar works great)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of butter (for greasing the baking dish)
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Let’s Cook This Thing!

Now that you got everything ready, let’s get cooking!

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is going to set the stage for that lovely golden crust we all love.
  2. Grease your baking dish with butter to prevent sticking. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
  3. Arrange the sliced potatoes in layers in the baking dish. Sprinkle with a bit of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion in between the layers for that flavor kick!
  4. In a bowl, mix the heavy cream with half of the shredded cheese. Pour this cheesy goodness evenly over the layered potatoes.
  5. Top it off with the remaining shredded cheese. Bonus points if you sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper for seasoning!
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and place it in the preheated oven.
  7. Bake for about 50 minutes. Then, take off the foil and let it bake for another 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden.
  8. When it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if you’re feeling fancy!

And there you have it! A delicious, creamy, and cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin that’s perfect for any occasion. Serve it up alongside your favorite meats or veggies, and watch it disappear quicker than you can say “yum!” Enjoy, everybody!
