As delicious as this is, I’m embarrassed to post these pictures of it. Everything was going great in the cooking process until things got kind of crazy in my house right when the oven buzzer was due to go off…and it got slightly burned. So I beg your forgiveness and ask you to use your imagination to envision a lightly browned cheesy top and creamy moist layers of potato beneath it. Really!
INGREDIENTS
5-6 medium-large size potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3-4 medium size cloves of garlic, crushed
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup whole milk
salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Use the butter to grease a medium size baking dish.
Evenly dot the garlic around the bottom of the dish.
Start layering the potatoes.
Periodically sprinkle a little salt and keep on layering.
And layer some more until you reach the top of the dish.
Mix your two cheeses together then evenly distribute it over the top.
Carefully pour the milk into the corners of the dish.
No that’s not milk in the picture – all I had was 1% so I had to use cream. Bad Sarah!
Then pop it in the oven to bake for 50-60 minutes.
Just don’t be like me and get distracted and end up with a dry, burnt disaster!
One more thing. We sometimes put some diced bacon or ham into the layers as we are stacking the potatoes and that adds a great new flavour to this dish. Try it sometime!
