Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel (if desired) and thinly slice the potatoes using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for uniformity.
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the cheese blend. Stir until smooth.

- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top along with panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about one hour. Remove foil during the last fifteen minutes to achieve a golden-brown finish.
- Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
