Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk (use half and half or a mixture of milk and cream for a richer dish)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or 3 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Step 2: Peel the potatoes and slice into very thin slices, at the most 1/8-inch thick slices (use a mandolin for best results).

  • Step 3: Rinse potatoes in cold water.

  • Step 4: Combine the potatoes, garlic, butter and milk in a Dutch oven or large saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5: Simmer over medium heat about 5 minutes or until the potatoes are slightly softened and the milk is slightly thickened and foamy. Stir often so the milk doesn't scald.

  • Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Pour the potatoes into the baking dish.

  • Step 7: Bake 1 hour uncovered until the potatoes are tender, the milk is absorbed and the top is nicely browned.
