Ruth’s Chris Potatoes Au Gratin

These potatoes au gratin are a rich and creamy delight, combining layers of tender potatoes with a luscious cheese sauce. They are baked to perfection, creating a golden crust that is irresistible. Let’s dive into the details!

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish with unsalted butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently but do not let it boil.
Pour half of the creamy mixture over the first layer of potatoes, then top with half of the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses.
Add the remaining potato slices on top and repeat the process: pour the rest of the cream mixture over the potatoes and finish with the remaining cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley for that perfect touch of freshness.

Serve these decadent potatoes alongside your favorite main dishes, and watch as everyone falls in love with each creamy, cheesy bite. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
