Description
Delmonico Potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, combining the creamy richness of heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese with tender layers of russet potatoes. This indulgent dish is baked to perfection, resulting in a golden crust that contrasts beautifully with its soft, cheesy interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice the russet potatoes using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
- In a bowl, mix heavy cream, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cream mixture and half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
