Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking later on.
Prepare Your Potatoes: Peel and slice the potatoes thinly; aim for uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick. This helps them cook evenly. For more inspiration, check out this thick and chewy caramel cookies recipe.
Sauté Onions with Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add diced onions. Cook until they turn translucent and fragrant—approximately 5 minutes.
Create the Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine heavy cream, salt, pepper, and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Layer Everything in a Baking Dish: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes followed by sautéed onions. Pour half of the cream mixture over them before repeating layers with remaining ingredients.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle leftover cheese on top, then bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
And there you have it! Your very own Delmonico potatoes ready to be devoured by family and friends alike!
