Calories: 254kcal
Equipment
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 1-1½ pounds potatoes (about 4 small potatoes) sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 cup white cheddar
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350 with the rack in the center. Prepare a shallow casserole dish by rubbing it with the butter.
- Make cream mixture. Combine the heavy cream, flour, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup.
- Assemble. Place the potato slices in the casserole dish, one layer deep. Sprinkle ¼ of the diced onions on top. Repeat the layers until all the onions and potatoes have been used. Pour the cream mixture on top.
- Bake. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the foil. Carefully sprinkle the cheese on top and return to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Serve. Remove and allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Russet potatoes are best for this dish, but honestly any type will still be delicious.
Add cooked diced ham and serve with a green salad for a complete meal, or serve with grilled tri-tip and a roasted veggie.
