Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes about 7-8 medium
- butter
- salt
- pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- milk
- 2 Tablespoons crushed saltine crackers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Peel the skins with a vegetable peeler.
- Thinly slice the potatoes and place half of them in a single layer in a 7" x 11" or larger glass baking dish.
- Dot the potatoes evenly with small bits of butter. Season the first layer with salt and pepper.
- Place a second layer of the remaining potatoes evenly over baking dish.
- Again dot the potatoes evenly with butter and season with more salt and pepper.
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream over the potatoes.
- Pour enough milk into the dish until you just begin to see it. Do not completely cover the potatoes.
- Lightly sprinkle with crushed saltine crackers on the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 60-75 minutes, until potatoes are tender and the milk and cream has thickened.
Notes
Notes: The sauce needs to be in the oven long enough to come to a boil in the baking dish, otherwise it will not thicken.
To save time and get even slices, slice the potatoes in your food processor.
