Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups half and half
  • 1 clove garlic mashed and diced
  • 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 5 small-medium Yukon gold potaotes sliced 1/8"
  • 1/4 cup grated Jarlsberg cheese or Swiss cheese

Instructions
 

  • Into a 2 qt saucepan, add pour heavy cream and half-and-half into the saucepan. Stir in the garlic, salt and pepper.
    1.5 cups heavy cream, 1.5 cups half and half, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Place sliced potatoes into the cream. Push potatoes down into the cream so they are covered. 
    5 small-medium Yukon gold potaotes
  • Place pan on stove, turn heat to medium-low heat (3 of 10) and lightly cover. Keep BELOW a simmer for 35-40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. 
    You do not want the mixture to boil or be bubbling. Stir every 10 minutes to be sure potatoes are not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Turn down to a 1 after 25 minutes to keep from simmering.
  • Preheat oven to 425º. Spray a 2 qt casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon potatoes into the baking dish. Pour cream sauce to cover the potatoes. 
    Some recipes will layer the potatoes all fancy and pretty - but that's harder to do when they're hot and cooked! Just get them in the dish! ;-) 
    You may have approx 1/2 cup cream leftover to discard. Don't feel the need to put all of it in the dish. 
  • Top with grated cheese.
    1/4 cup grated Jarlsberg cheese
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 425ºF.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.  Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
