Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy/whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Move the rack to the middle position.
- Grate the cheeses and peel the potatoes. Use a mandoline slicer to cut potatoes into thin 1/8-inch slices.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in the cream, add salt, and pepper, and warm until just about to boil. Remove from heat.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half the potatoes over the bottom, overlapping slightly. Pour half the cream mixture over the potatoes.
- Repeat with a second layer of potatoes and remaining cream mixture. Spread the layers evenly.
- Sprinkle all the cheddar and parmesan cheese over the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
