Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, and evenly for uniform cooking. Lay them aside in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium-low heat until the butter melts. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly.

Step 5

Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and another cup of cheddar cheese.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
