Equipment

9 * 9 inch pan or casserole dish.

Ingredients

4 medium Russet potatoes thinly sliced
2 tablespoon Butter
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1 cup Cheddar cheese grated (gruyere, colby, swiss)
1 pint Heavy cream 2 cups
1 teaspoon Garlic powder optional
1 teaspoon Onion powder
½ teaspoon Black pepper powder adjust to taste
¼ teaspoon Cayenne powder optional
¾ to 1 teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh herb finely chopped (thyme, cilantro or parsley)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch by 9-inch pan using 1 tablespoon butter.
2 tbsp Butter
In a bowl, add heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper powder, cayenne powder, and mix.
1 pint Heavy cream, 1 tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Onion powder, ½ tsp Black pepper powder, ¾ to 1 tsp Salt, ¼ tsp Cayenne powder
Add a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, edges overlapping, into the greased baking pan. Top it with ⅓ portion of the cream mixture. Follow this with ⅓ portion of cheddar and parmesan cheese.
1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, 4 medium Russet potatoes
Repeat the above process for two more layers.
Finally, dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
2 tbsp Butter
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake this for 55 minutes covered.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until lightly browned and a knife pierces easily through the potatoes.
Remove from the oven and rest it for 10 minutes.
The best potatoes au gratin recipe is ready. Serve warm for your dinner, and enjoy.
1 tbsp Fresh herb

Notes

See that the potatoes are covered in heavy cream so that gratin doesn't dry out.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, which will help the potatoes remain soft and tender.

Do you love more garlicky flavor? You can roast 4 to 5 garlic cloves and then add them to the cream sauce.

You can also sautee the onions and mushrooms and add them between each layer. This will only enhance the taste of the dish.

Store the leftover gratin in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until heated through.
