Indulge in our creamy Potatoes au Gratin, where tender layers of thinly sliced potatoes are enveloped in a rich, velvety cheese sauce. Baked to golden perfection and topped with a crispy breadcrumb crust, this classic dish delivers a comforting, savory experience that will warm your heart and delight your palate.

Preheat the oven

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8 inch thick).

Prepare the potatoes

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then, add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and heat until warm, but do not boil.

Make the cream mixture

In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream, and cheese.

Layer the potatoes

Top the final layer with the Parmesan cheese.

Add Parmesan

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
