Ingredients

• 6 large russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish or baking dish with a little butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works perfectly for this step.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic (minced) and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture gently until warmed through, but do not allow it to boil. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Layer half of the potato slices into the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly like shingles.

Step 6

Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining potato slices, cream mixture, and cheeses, creating a second layer.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of 'Oh My Word Potatoes'!
