A recipe brought to you by Food52: A generous layer of our cheese melts into a golden, flavorful blanket over the fan-like potato slices making it a side dish your guests will gobble.
Ingredients
¾ cup Tillamook Farmstyle Sharp Cheddar Shreds, divided
¼ cup Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar Block, shaved
2 tbsp Tillamook Unsalted Extra Creamy Butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock
4 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp fresh thyme
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp sherry
1 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
4 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place 3/4 cup of Tillamook Farmstyle Sharp Cheddar Shreds in a large bowl along with cream, stock, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, nutmeg, butter, and sherry. Set aside.
Carefully using a mandolin, thinly slice the potatoes.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss well to make sure each slice of potato is covered with the cream mixture.
Stack all the potato slices vertically in the prepared pan. Begin at the perimeter and work your way around the pan and into the center.
Pour the remaining cream and cheese mixture over the potatoes.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and return to the oven to bake for another 30 minutes.
Carefully top the potatoes with ¼ cup of shaved Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar cheese and continue to bake for another 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges of the potatoes are crispy.
Let sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature then serve.
