Ingredients

4 pounds mixed baby potatoes, such as Red Bliss, Peruvian Purples, and Fingerlings
2 cups heavy cream, plus some to cover
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
2 sprigs each fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary
2 garlic cloves, cracked
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Halve the potatoes and toss them into a large baking dish and season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, put the cream, butter, herbs, and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, to infuse the cream with flavor. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the hot cream mixture through a strainer over the potatoes, (discard the herbs and garlic), if there is not enough cream to go 3/4 of the way up the potatoes then pour some additional cream on top to make up the difference. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through and top begins to brown. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

Just ok
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Made this tonight with meatloaf. It was good but needs some more tweaking to suit our own taste. It was a little oily and... even kinda soupy until it was cool (too cool to want to eat that way). For me, I think next time I will try to add more cheese (even some in the mixture and not just on top). Perhaps that will thicken the sauce a bit and give it more flavor. I thought it had a very strong taste of the herbs which isn't bad but I just thought it was lacking something. I could not find the potatoes that the recipe called for in my local supermarket this time so I used red potatoes and sliced them and layered them to make them seem more au gratin like. Overall, I'm not sure its worth the fat and calories but if I do decide to make them again, I will try to add more to perk up the flavor and thicken the sauce. Read more

Everyone Loved!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cooked this for my family and friends and everyone raved about it! It was very very good! I made a huge pan for six... people and it was completely gone at the end of the meal. They are a great compliment to pork chops! I highly recommend this recipe! The only changes I made to the recipe was to use regular potatoes as I had some I needed to use up and I boiled them before putting them in the baking pan to ensure that they were done enough.Read more

Good but Bland and runny.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took others advice and boiled the potatoes a bit before putting them in oven. Ten minutes worked well. Also I should have... added more pepper and salt. I had to move it to a different container because the butter and cream mix was runny and looked kinda bad on the bottom of the pan. Didn't get any compliments but i think they were good. Also, cook it for about ten extra minutes for potatoes to be done completely.Read more

Delicious and easy! I think Rachel Ray is so clever doing so much with such variety of ingredients and in so little time that... I am amazed. I say that because I am in my 60's and holliday meals have always been a big production with me. I have slaved for hours. But this show has really taught this old gal many things and I am gratefull. Thank a million! Read more
