Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup (packed) grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup crumbled Danish blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/4 ounces)
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Parmesan in small bowl.
  • Arrange half of potatoes in prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle onion over, then flour. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons butter. Reserve remaining cheese.
  • Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour milk over potatoes (milk will not cover potatoes completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids in dish may look curdled); sprinkle potatoes with reserved cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover and rewarm in 375°F oven about 20 minutes.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheesy potatoes. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. You can cook them in a pot of boiling water, in a steamer, or in the microwave.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the cheesy potatoes from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with butter or cooking spray.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the cheesy potatoes to the skillet, don't overcrowd it. The potatoes should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the cheesy potatoes over medium heat: Cook the cheesy potatoes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the cheesy potatoes frequently: Stir the cheesy potatoes frequently so that they cook evenly. You don't want them to stick to the skillet or burn.
  • Season the cheesy potatoes to taste: Once the cheesy potatoes are cooked, season them to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cheesy potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
