Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Aim for approximately 1/8 inch thickness.

  3. 3

    Slice the Onion

    Thinly slice the onion and set aside.

Layering

  1. 4

    Butter the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are well coated.

  2. 5

    Layer the Potatoes and Onions

    Place a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of sliced onions. Repeat the layering until all potatoes and onions are used, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.

Making the Cream Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Cream and Seasonings

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.

  2. 7

    Pour Over Potatoes

    Once the cream mixture is heated, pour it evenly over the layered potatoes and onions in the baking dish.

Baking

  1. 8

    Add Cheese and Bake

    Dot the top of the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  2. 9

    Uncover and Brown

    After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
