Parmesan Au Gratin Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 6-7 medium potatoes
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, salt, and minced garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the garlic flavor to infuse into the cream, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Rinse the potatoes and use a mandolin slicer to cut them into thin ⅛-inch slices.
- In a 16-inch cast iron skillet, brown the butter for about 4 minutes until it turns slightly golden. Add the minced onion during the last minute of cooking, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in a spiral pattern over the browned butter in the skillet.
- Pour the garlic-infused cream over the layered potatoes.
- Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- After baking, remove the skillet from the oven and switch the oven to the broil setting.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the potatoes.
- Return the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is crispy and bubbling.
- Remove the pan from the oven and serve the dish while warm.

Notes
- Utilize a Mandolin Slicer for consistent, thin potato slices to ensure even cooking.
- Infuse garlic flavor by simmering it with the cream.
- Watch the potatoes closely during broiling; the cheese can quickly shift from crispy perfection to burnt.
