Parmesan Hasselback Potato Casserole
Parmesan Hasselback Potato Casserole
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Thinly slice the peeled potatoes using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer to about 1/8 inch thickness. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl.
-
Prepare the Cream Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
-
Layer the Casserole:
- Begin layering the sliced potatoes into the prepared casserole dish, slightly overlapping each slice. Once all the slices are in the dish, pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
-
Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the potatoes. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of that, making sure to cover the entire casserole evenly.
-
Bake the Casserole:
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Tips:
- Crispier Top: If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Flavor Boost: For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top halfway through the baking process to create an even cheesier crust.
- Vegetable Add-ins: You can add some sautéed onions or bell peppers between the layers for added flavor and texture.
Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and flavorful Parmesan Hasselback Potato Casserole! 🧀🍽️
