    Step 1<\/h5>\n

    Preheat Oven to 375\u02da\u00a0 and butter a 9\u00d713 glass baking dish.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_5_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_5_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”36px||36px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” border_color_all=”rgba(51,51,51,0.1)” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Step 2<\/h5>\n

    Using a mandolin, carefully slice the potatoes into rounds that are about 1\/8 inch thick. Place slices into a large bowl filled with water.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_5_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_5_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”36px||36px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” border_color_all=”rgba(51,51,51,0.1)” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    <\/h5>\n
    <\/h5>\n
    Step 3<\/h5>\n

    Sautee 4 Tbsp. butter with 1\/2 medium chopped onion in a medium saucepan about 5 minutes or until onions are soft.<\/p>\n

    Add pressed garlic and stir an additional 1 minute.<\/p>\n

    Stir in 2 cups heavy whipping cream and 1 cup whole milk.<\/p>\n

    Heat to a simmer then pour over potatoes once they are in the baking dish (after step 4).<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_5_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_5_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”36px||36px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” border_color_all=”rgba(51,51,51,0.1)” border_width_bottom=”1px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    <\/h5>\n
    <\/h5>\n
    Step 4<\/h5>\n

    Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Layer half of the potatoes into the baking dish.<\/p>\n

    Combine the salt and pepper and sprinkle half of the salt and pepper mixture on top of the potatoes.<\/p>\n

    Sprinkle 1.5 cups of cheese on top of the potatoes.<\/p>\n

    Repeat with the the other half of the potatoes, salt and pepper and cheese.<\/p>\n

    Step 5<\/h5>\n

    Pour the cream over the potatoes and push the potatoes down to submerge them into the cream. They won\u2019t be fully covered by cream and that\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n

    Cover dish with foil and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.<\/p>\n

    Then remove foil and bake for another 30-45 minutes until top is golden and bubbly and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the potatoes. If the potatoes are browning too fast, tent dish with foil and continue baking. Potatoes should be easy to pierce with a fork when done.<\/p>\n
