Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound small potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and minced garlic. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to soften.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let it cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute Gruyere or Monterey Jack cheese for cheddar if you prefer a different flavor.
  • If you slice the potatoes very thin, the cooking time will be slightly reduced.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices to help them cook evenly.
