This is the first Pioneer Woman recipe that I've tried. I don't know why I waited so long! I've read her blog many times, and found so many things that look so super yummy, plus she has a knack for writing, which makes it very enjoyable. This recipe was very easy to throw together and tasted great! The garlic cream sauce is excellent. My only complaint would be that the potatoes were a little undercooked. Next time I will par boil the potatoes before baking to make them more tender.
Potatoes au Gratin
Source: Pioneer Woman
4 whole Russet Potatoes, Scrubbed Clean
2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
1-½ cup Heavy Cream
½ cups Whole Milk
2 Tablespoons Flour
4 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
1 teaspoon Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Smear softened butter all over the bottom of a baking dish.
Slice potatoes, then cut slices into fourths.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, milk, flour, minced garlic, salt, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Place 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour 1/3 of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Repeat this two more times, ending with the cream mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and really bubbling. Add grated cheese to the top of the potatoes and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to stand for a few minutes before serving by the spoonful.
