Description

Restaurant-style potatoes au gratin are baked with heavy cream and topped with Cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
3 russet potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup grated medium Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan with butter. Spread potatoes evenly in the pan.
3 Whisk together heavy cream, milk, garlic, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes. Cover with foil.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Continue baking until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes.
5 Remove potatoes from the oven and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Return to oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
