Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease a baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter.
- Very thinly slice potatoes (using a mandolin, if you have one).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream, shredded cheddar, 4 tablespoons Parmesan, and garlic.
- Add sliced potatoes and toss together until all potatoes are well coated. Generously season with salt and pepper and toss together.
- Take a stack of potatoes and line baking dish, keeping potatoes upright. Repeat until all potatoes have been used.
- Evenly pour excess cream mixture over potatoes and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Dot top with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
- Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven, uncover potatoes, sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan and continue to bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Transfer to a broiler and broil on high for 1 minute, until top has browned.
- Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes. Serve.
Notes
- Tips:
- Prep Ahead:
- Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated in cream so they cook evenly and don't dry out.
- The foil should be tightly wrapped around the baking dish to allow the dish to steam a little and for the potatoes to get tender before uncovering it.
- Keeping the slices as uniform in thickness as possible will greatly help even cooking throughout the gratin.
- Using a mandoline will not only ensure even thickness, but will also reduce the prep time. If you don't have a mandoline a very sharp knife is the next best thing we recommend.
- This dish can be prepped up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated, tightly wrapped in foil. When ready to bake, just place the covered gratin in the oven, adding about an extra 5-7 minutes of baking time to the dish (covered).
