Ingredients
4 cups diced potatoes
2 heads garlic, peeled and trimmed
600 ml (20 oz) cream
1 tablespoon dried onion
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup parmesan cheese (divided)
1 cup colby cheese or other grated cheese
Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
Dice potatoes into small pieces.
Peel and trim garlic cloves.
Spray an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with cooking oil.
In a bowl, whisk together cream, garlic, dried onion, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and half of the parmesan cheese.
Transfer diced potatoes into skillet. Pour garlic cream sauce over, pressing all pieces under the liquid.
Cover with foil (optional) and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with grated colby and remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered for 5–10 more minutes until cheese is melted.
Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Use standard white washed potatoes for best results.
Garlic softens while cooking in the cream, adding a mellow, rich flavor.
Dried onion is a great time-saving substitute for fresh.
Australian tablespoon = 20ml, slightly larger than U.S. version.
To test doneness, insert a skewer into a potato piece; it should slide through easily.
