Cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin image

Recipe from New Orleans Cooking by Emeril Lagasse. Simple and tasty side dish. Did add a couple of extra spices as the recipe seemed to be bland with just salt & pepper. The additions of garlic & onion powder seemed to make a difference in the layers.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb idaho potato, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 very large potatoes)
4 ounces cheddar cheese (grated or shredded)
3/4 cup heavy cream
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly grease a medium gratin dish with butter.
  • Cover the bottom of the pan with an overlapping layer of potatoes.
  • Lightly season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and top with a sprinkling of cheese (about 2 tablespoons).
  • Continue layering potatoes, seasoning, and cheese, ending with the remaining cheese on top.
  • Pour the cream over the potatoes, pressing lightly with your hands to cover the potatoes with cream.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the cheese is absorbed into the potatoes and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake until the mixture is bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into portions.
