Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 3

Arrange the potato slices in overlapping layers in the greased baking dish.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm, but do not let it boil.

Step 5

Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes, ensuring all layers are coated.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Mix well to create a crumbly topping.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the potatoes, covering the top completely.

Step 8

Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over the breadcrumb topping in small pieces to ensure even browning.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 11

Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
