Ingredients

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup grated Gruyere
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.

Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes.

In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Potatoes Au Gratin
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I prepared this for the first time for a tailgating party. It had great flavor, but the butter floated on top and it... curdled. What did I do wrong?Read more

I had a last-minute dinner party last night. I got online and got the potatoes au gratin recipe. Everyone raved! My... surprise was eating the let-overs the next morning. They were FANTASTIC! I'll have to diet all week to make up for my indulgence. It was worth it!Read more

Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this several times a year. I use milk instead of cream, and really don't miss it (the cheese and butter make up for... it). Really delicious, and a "pretty" casserole for the holidays. On occasion, I have added leeks to the recipe. Also fabulous.Read more

Amazing Potatoes!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this receipe and made it for the 1st time for Thanksgiving in 2007. They were a HUGE hit! I made them now just about... anytime we want potatoes. When we have get togethers and I need to bring a dish to pass...I'm told to bring these. There are even family members fighting over them...(well not really fighting but they don't want to share) :-) They are my family's new tradition. I've raved about them so much, that I've passed it on to co-workers and friends and they love them too.Read more

I cut this recipe in half for the two of us and used swiss cheese instead of Gruyere and it came out terrific! It was rich... and creamy and my husband totally loved it.Read more
