An easy potato casserole to assemble and bake into a rich, luscious cheese sauce.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Slice potatoes into rounds, 1/4 " thick.
  3. Layer half of the potatoes into a 10-inch square casserole dish.
  4. Season potatoes with half of the salt and pepper.
  5. Sprinkle seasoned potatoes with 1 cup of cheese.
  6. Pour 1 cup of cream over potatoes and cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers of potatoes, seasonings, cheese, and cream.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1  1/2 hours or until a fork pierces through the potatoes easily, then bake 15 minutes more, uncovered, to brown the potatoes until golden.

Notes

  • Slicing the potatoes into the same width allows them to cook evenly; using a mandoline slicer can help cut all potatoes into uniform widths. 
  • Bake a few minutes longer, uncovered, for a browner top.
