Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes and sauté until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the cream and stir to combine. Cook until the cream is hot and beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown.
5. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
