Equipment

  • 1 Deep Casserole Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs potatoes Yukon Gold for creaminess, Russet for fluffiness
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pt heavy cream
  • 1 pkg (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs is my go-to!)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • PREHEAT THE OVEN - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.
  • Wash and peel your potatoes (optional).
  • Slice them into ¼-inch rounds—a mandoline slicer makes this easy!
  • Toss the potato slices with salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream and Boursin cheese.
  • Stir continuously until the cheese melts into the cream, forming a smooth and velvety sauce.
  • Grease a deep baking dish with butter.
  • Arrange a layer of potato slices in the dish.
  • Pour some of the Boursin cream sauce over the potatoes.
  • Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes and sauce are used.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to get a golden, slightly crispy top.
  • Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
