Cheesy Potatoes in Heavy Cream

In this house these potatoes rule. A few simple ingredients layered in an easy casserole.
5 large potatoes peeled and sliced
1/2 small onion chopped
2 T butter
2 cups heavy cream(not milk)
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
8 oz cheese grated
Parsley (optional)

In a 9x13 pan and butter thinnest sliced.
Layer half the potaote and onions. Top with salt and pepper , garlic powder. Pour 1 cup heavy cream over top. Layer remain potatoes. Top with remaining cream more salt and pepper. Then add the cheese. Top with parsley if desired.

Bake on bottom rack at 400 covered with foil for 1 hour. Remove foil. Move to top rack and broil until brown. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Notes
Use real butter
Do not substitute milk for the cream. Half and half with work if you want lower calories.
Don't be afraid of the salt and pepper they make the dish.
Grate your own cheese. It just tastes better. They add something to bagged cheese that causes the sauce to thicken.

Try this with ham cubes and Swiss cheese.
Happy eating!
