    The only hard time for you is to wait for 1 hour till the dish is baked to perfection in the oven. Honestly though it's worth the wait and your house is just going to smell amazing as the potatoes bake. Whisk together heavy cream with seasonings of your choice. Grease baking pan with butter. Add a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, edges overlapping, in the greased baking pan.

    Top the layer of potatoes with ¼ portion of cream mixture. Spread ⅓ portion of BLENDABELLA mushroom over these potatoes. Follow this with ¼ portion of Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat the above process for two more layers. The last or the fourth layer will only consist of remaining potatoes, cream, and cheeses. Finally, dot the top with butter.

    Bake this for 55 - 65 mins uncovered, or until a knife pierces easily through the potatoes and you are done. While this dish is in the oven you can make any entree. This dish can be served as side with any meat of your choice. It goes well even with pasta or rice dishes.
