SPECIAL GARLIC & CHEESE POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• The Pan:.
• Large oven dish, must be at least 6 inches deep.
• If not this deep, make sure it is large around. I'd say minimum 4" deep.
• A large disposable foil casserole pan should work fine.
• Directions:.
• Peel (or not) and slice potatoes to no thicker than a dime (2-3mm).
• Layer the bottom of your oven dish with 2-3 layers of potatoes.
• Cover potatoes with a thick layer of grated cheese.
• Crush one clove of garlic over the top of the cheese, spreading out evenly.
• NOTE: If you know how much cheese and garlic you WILL use, just crush the garlic and mix it with the cheese to make spreading easier.
• Continue to do this 3-4 times depending on how deep your oven dish is.
• End up with a cheese and garlic layer to finish, not potatoes.
• Mix milk and egg together and pour over the top of the cheese.
• Bake at 180º C (350º F)until potatoes are soft and cheese topping is browned off
• Cooking time will vary depending on number of layers and thickness of potato slices.
• VARIATION: adding meat of your choice to this with the cheese/garlic layer, would make this a great main dish.
• If other ingredients are added, you may have to double the egg/milk mixture, and adjust the cooking time.

CHEESY POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with just a bit of the shallot.
• Add the heavy cream to a medium saucepan along with the remaining shallot, garlic, salt and pepper. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. Let simmer until you see the liquid begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, cover with some Cheddar and a sprinkling of Parmesan; repeat the layering 2 more times.
• Pour the hot liquid over the potatoes. Add the remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil to bake until the cheese is golden and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing so it can settle.
