Special Garlic & Cheese Potato Casserole

Recipe #153214 | 55 min | 10 min prep | 1 casserole (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Nana Lee

The recipe doesn't designate a cooking time so I'm guessing. However, cooking time aside, this sounds scrumptious! I'll be making it very soon.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 large potato, uncooked
  • cup grated aged cheddar cheese (to taste)
  • 4-5 garlic clove, crushed
  • cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Directions

    1. 1
      The Pan:.
    2. 2
      Large oven dish, must be at least 6 inches deep.
    3. 3
      If not this deep, make sure it is large around. I'd say minimum 4" deep.
    4. 4
      A large disposable foil casserole pan should work fine.
    5. 5
      Directions:.
    6. 6
      Peel (or not) and slice potatoes to no thicker than a dime (2-3mm).
    7. 7
      Layer the bottom of your oven dish with 2-3 layers of potatoes.
    8. 8
      Cover potatoes with a thick layer of grated cheese.
    9. 9
      Crush one clove of garlic over the top of the cheese, spreading out evenly.
    10. 10
      NOTE: If you know how much cheese and garlic you WILL use, just crush the garlic and mix it with the cheese to make spreading easier.
    11. 11
      Continue to do this 3-4 times depending on how deep your oven dish is.
    12. 12
      End up with a cheese and garlic layer to finish, not potatoes.
    13. 13
      Mix milk and egg together and pour over the top of the cheese.
    14. 14
      Bake at 180º C (350º F)until potatoes are soft and cheese topping is browned off
    15. 15
      Cooking time will vary depending on number of layers and thickness of potato slices.
    16. 16
      VARIATION: adding meat of your choice to this with the cheese/garlic layer, would make this a great main dish.
    17. 17
      If other ingredients are added, you may have to double the egg/milk mixture, and adjust the cooking time.

    The aroma of this dish while baking was almost unbearable. LoL! I think I will cut back just a bit on the garlic next time. Even though we LOVE garlic, it was just a little too much.
