Grandma Edith Schneeman's Au Gratin Potatoes

Au Gratin Potatoes

From the kitchen of Grandma Edith Schneeman

Ingredients:

·         5 lbs. Yukon Gold or red potatoes

·         2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated (or Parmesan)

·         1 pint heavy cream

·         Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

          Wash and cut the potatoes with the skins on into thin slices. Butter a low baking dish. Arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then layer about half of the cheese on top. Repeat for the next layer. Pour the cream over the entire dish so the potatoes are all covered. Refrigerate until you are ready to bake. Bake covered in the oven at 350° for 30 minutes and then uncover for 15 minutes so the cheese is melted and browned. Let rest for 15 minutes, cut into squares, and serve. This dish is always a favorite at Schneeman holidays!
