Potato Gratin

Judi generously shared this recipe with me after Thanksgiving dinner one year. Everybody loved these potatoes.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter
• 2  lbs russet potatoes
•  kosher salt
•  fresh ground pepper
• 1  cup  grated cheddar cheese

• 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Peel the potatoes.
3. Then with a mandoline, thinly slice.
4. Begin layering them into a very lightly oiled 9x13 baking dish.
5. Season each layer lightly with salt and pepper and sprinkle with grated cheese and onion.
6. Repeat 3 or 4 times and end with a sprinkling of cheese.
7. Pour heavy cream over all.
8. Bake, uncovered, in the upper third of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
