Servings: 6–8
You’ll Need:
2½ lbs (1.1 kg) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until smooth.
Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cream sauce over the potatoes.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes and the rest of the sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and all of the mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Tips:
Slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
Add cooked bacon, caramelized onions, or fresh thyme for extra flavor.
Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for an even crispier golden cheese topping.
One bite of these creamy, cheesy garlic Parmesan potatoes, and they’ll become the most requested side dish at every family gathering!
