4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. butter plus more for greasing the baking dish
- 1/2 white onion minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 c. chicken stock
- 1 1/4 c. heavy cream plus more if needed
- 1 1/2 lbs. russet potatoes peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
- 2 c. cheddar cheese grated
- 3/4 c. provolone cheese grated
- 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese grated
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Make sure to grease an 8x8 inch baking dish, with butter.
- In a pot melt the two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns soft and translucent which usually takes 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper cooking for 30 seconds.
- Incorporate the chicken stock, heavy cream and sliced potatoes into the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer without letting it reach a boiling point. Cover the pot. Lower the heat to low. Allow it to cook until the potatoes become tender around 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning as required.
- Carefully transfer the potato mixture into the baking dish ensuring an even distribution throughout. Sprinkle grated cheddar, provolone and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Place in the oven and bake until bubbly while achieving melted cheese; this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once done serve your version of Ruth's Chris Potatoes Au Gratin garnished with chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
