Hasselback Au Gratin Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°
Grease a 9"x12"x2" casserole dish.

6-7lbs of 1/8 inch sliced potatoes.
I'm thankful for my mandoline slicer.
Here's a tip, lay potatoes end to end in casserole dish till full, now add three more to make sure dish is packed tight with slices.

8oz Guyere
8oz Parmesan Reggiano
6oz Smoked Gouda
6oz Havarti
All finely shredded.
(*You can use your favorite cheeses*)
1C chopped Bacon or Ham (optional)
(*Optional because I'd rather the cheese be the Star of this dish*)
1 medium onion, minced
3C Heavy cream
1C Sour Cream
1/4C flour
1T heaping of minced Garlic
3T fresh Thyme leaves
Generous amounts of salt and black pepper.

Mix the cheeses and Thyme, set aside 1/3 of the cheese for a topping.
In an extra large mixing bowl combine cheeses, cream,sour cream, flour, garlic, onion and thyme.
Add bacon/ham if using.
Add Salt and pepper to taste.

Add potatoes and coat thoroughly, separate slices that are stuck together.

Pack casserole dish tightly with potatoes, slices vertically aligned.

Pour leftover cheese sauce over the potatoes, about half way up the potatoes.
Do not overfill leave at least 1 inch or you may experience overflow as it cooks.
You may not use all the sauce.
If you have leftover sauce, strain the cheese out and use it in the potatoes.

Got a full spread of potato posts going on recently... and every one keeps hitting it out of the park! Those look amazing Chili! If only smell-o-vision existed!

With the apocalypse upon us in CenTex (anything less than 40°F apparently...) some good hearty dishes are needed. saving this one to my short list! Thank you.

And thank you for pointing the original recipe out to me.
Made enough changes to call it mine now, and thinking about another.
Thinking about substituting 1C Sour Cream instead of Heavy Cream.
And 1/8C - 1/4C flour for a thickener.

Another Chile masterpiece! Big like.
Copied and on my to do list! thanks!
Thanks peeps, appreciate the replies and Likes.

But really, all I did was tweak someone else's recipe.
It was pretty good stuff though, and a winner with the family.

Today I further modified the recipe and Oh My Gosh is it good.
This is it, no more tweaks, simply delicious.

OMG this keeps getting better and better!

Just and FYI, I’m making this next week for bachelor week, I’ll be eating this for a few days. I’m by myself but I could literally eat potatoes every day.

Damn!!

Thanks Joe.
More cheese, substituting sour cream and adding the flour as a thickener was the ticket.
Also, use really large taters so the edges stick up above the sauce/cheese, really adds to the Hasselback appearance.
From now on I'm hand selecting GIANT sized Russets for this dish.

I missed this earlier. This looks great. I have been getting bored with the usual Taters and this would be a nice change. Thanks...JJ
