Potatoes Delmonico is a classic dish that features thinly sliced potatoes baked with cream, cheese, and sometimes breadcrumbs. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Gruyere, or Parmesan)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, shredded cheese, minced garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly.
- Pour a portion of the cream and cheese mixture over the potatoes, spreading it out evenly to cover them.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes and cream mixture, finishing with a layer of cream mixture on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the foil from the baking dish and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove the Potatoes Delmonico from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired, before serving.
- Serve the Potatoes Delmonico hot as a delicious side dish alongside roasted meats, poultry, or fish.
