Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes (4 or 5)
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or more to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Slice potatoes very thinly, 1/8" thick. Layer the potatoes in buttered 9x9 or 8x8 baking dish, lightly salting each layer.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. When melted, add diced onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and saute another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the cream cheese to the sauce and stir to melt. Pour in cream, milk, herbs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat another 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Pour the cream sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly. (if your potatoes are thicker than 1/8" you will need to add more baking time)
  • Allow potatoes to cool 10 minutes before serving.
