Directions
- Scrub your potatoes. This dish can be made with skins left on, but you’re welcome to peel them if you like.
- Using a mandolin, slice the potatoes very thin. Not able to see through them thin, but close.
- Slice your onion in long thin strips.
- Place potatoes, onion and garlic in a pot and cover with water. Bring pot to a boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
- Use butter to grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13 pan.
- Put slices of potato in a single layer in the bottom of the pan and along the sides.
- Going in layers, add onion and optional meat then sprinkle with cheese until you’ve used up all your potato slices. Top with remaining cheese.
- In a small pan, heat cream on medium heat and whisk in seasonings. Stirring regularly let cream thicken slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Pour cream over the top of the potatoes.
- If you are freezing this for later, wrap pan in plastic wrap and place in freezer.
- Otherwise, place uncovered pan in oven heated to 400 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes. Then turn oven to broil for 5 minutes or until cheese on top is brown.
- Let potatoes sit after removing from oven for 20 minutes before serving.
If you freeze this for later, allow the potatoes to thaw completely before following the cooking directions.
