Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a glass casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Step 2: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
- Step 3: In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4: Once the cream mixture has thickened slightly, remove it from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Step 5: Layer the cooked potatoes in the greased casserole dish and pour the creamy mixture evenly over them. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle with fresh thyme if using.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving for a cozy winter supper!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and consider covering the dish with foil to maintain moisture.
- When reheating, warm individual portions in the microwave for quick results, or reheat the entire casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 20 minutes.
- This creamy pour-over pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or crusty bread on the side for a complete cozy meal.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding some crispy cooked beef bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the creamy mixture before pouring it over the potatoes—this will elevate your dish to new heights!
