🔪 How to Make It
1. Preheat your oven:
- Set to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13” casserole dish.
2. Prepare the potatoes:
- Wash and thinly slice the potatoes using a knife or mandoline. Aim for slices about 1/8″ thick to ensure even cooking.
3. Assemble the casserole:
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the dish.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, then top with half of the cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese.
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep through the layers.
4. Bake:
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the cream to thicken.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Pair with roast chicken, steak, or grilled veggies.
- Serve with a side salad for a lighter balance.
- Add a fried egg on top and call it brunch!
👨🍳 Tips & Tricks
- Even slicing matters – Ensures every layer cooks through evenly.
- Let it rest – Resting after baking helps the cream set for cleaner slices.
- Use a mix of cheeses – Try mozzarella for melt, Parmesan for saltiness, or Gruyère for a gourmet twist.
- Make it ahead – Assemble in the morning, refrigerate, and bake when ready.
