Ingredients:
- 4-5 medium-sized potatoes, sliced thinly
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and slice the potatoes thinly. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skins on adds a nice texture.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: Layer the sliced potatoes in the casserole dish. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the potatoes. Spread the sauce out to ensure all the potatoes are covered.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon bits (if using) over the top, and bake for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This creamy potato casserole is a comforting side dish that pairs perfectly with any winter meal.
Enjoy this creamy and satisfying dish! It’s a cozy winter favorite that will definitely hit the spot.
