Augratin Potatoes

Since i decided to start a blog i have been going through all photos i have so bare with me on not having step by step photos! Here is a dish that is better homemade than out of the box. Its so easy and goes well at many holiday gatherings. Start traditions and teach our next generation how to keep the food passion alive for the future!


Whatcha need:

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 grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon paprika

Putting it all together:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

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


2) 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.


3) 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.


4)  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.
