A comforting and delicious potato dish with a creamy and cheesy flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent baking temperature.
Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a better texture.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with salt and pepper.
Tossing the slices evenly coats them with seasoning for consistent flavor.
Grease a casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Greasing prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Layer the seasoned potato slices in the dish, sprinkling shredded cheese between each layer.
Press down gently on each layer to compact the potatoes for even cooking.
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until warm, then pour it evenly over the layered potatoes.
Warming the cream helps it distribute evenly and prevents curdling.
Dot the top with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the last of the cheese.
Adding butter on top helps create a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should slide in easily.
Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the dish to set, making it easier to serve and enhancing the flavor.
