Creamy Pour-Over Potatoes is a comforting casserole where sliced potatoes are baked while a rich cream mixture is poured over them, allowing the sauce to soak in and create a tender, creamy texture.
🥔 Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold), thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- ½ cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a baking dish with butter.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream, milk, melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Pour the mixture over the potatoes so it seeps between the layers.
- Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle cheese on top, and bake 15–20 minutes more until golden and tender.
🍽️ Tips
- Slice potatoes thin and evenly so they cook through.
- Add onions or bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
