Roasted garlic potatoes au gratin ✨ one of my favorite sides for thanksgiving. Sorry about the typo 😖 Ingredients - 2.5lbs Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 2 garlic heads, roasted - 3 tbsp butter - 3 tbsp flour - 2 3/4 cups half & half - 1 Parmesan rind - 7 oz guyere cheese, shredded - 7 oz smoked Gouda, shredded - 7 oz white sharp cheddar, shredded (or Parmesan) - 2 tsp garlic powder (add more or less for all seasonings) - 2 tsp onion powder - 1 tsp smoked paprika - 1 tsp dried thyme - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 sprigs thyme leaves - 2 fresh rosemary stems - 1 bay leave Instructions: - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) - Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt & pepper, wrap in foil, and roast for about 60 minutes until soft and caramelized. Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the cloves and mash it with a fork. Set aside. - Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. - In a saucepan on medium low heat half & half with fresh thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, Parmesan rind, and salt. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Strain and set aside. - In a saucepan, on medium heat add olive oil, butter, and onions.

Layer the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish, slightly overlapping. Pour the creamy sauce over the potatoes and spread to make sure it evenly coated - Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake 325F (165C) for 90-minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. - Remove the foil and bake uncovered on broil for 3-5 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly • • • #Recipe #thanksgiving #potatoes #EasyRecipe #DinnerIdeas - @thesapor
