Equipment
- 1 baking dish greased
- 1 skillet
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly. Shred the cabbage and, if using, chop the onions finely. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the cabbage until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a greased baking dish, layer the potatoes first, followed by cabbage and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous topping of cheese.
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top of the layered ingredients. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden, bubbly crust.
Serving
- Allow the gratin to rest for 5-10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the flavors meld together and makes serving easier.
Storage
- Store any leftover gratin in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, covered with foil to maintain moisture.
Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure even potato slices for uniform cooking. Pre-cook cabbage to reduce moisture. Layer ingredients thoughtfully for best flavor.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile. Swap cheddar with Gouda for a unique twist.
How to Serve: Pair with roasted meats or a fresh salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat covered to maintain texture.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prep the layers in advance and store in the fridge until ready to bake.
