Potatoes Au Gratin with Buttery Crumb Topping

 

In this post I’ll be sharing how to make Potatoes Au Gratin with Buttery Crumb Topping.

Cheesy baked potatoes, Potatoes Au Gratin. Rich, creamy goodness with a buttery crumb topping. It’s easy to make too!

This recipe is for a small casserole size. I’m giving two variations to the recipe and both are equally good. One I consider simple, the other a tad bit more work but not too much.

 Ingredients:

  • Russet Potatoes, medium, thinly sliced
  • Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Condensed Soup
  • Heavy Cream
  • Milk
  • Salt
  • Onion Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • Onion, thinly sliced
  • shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • sleeve Butter Crackers, such as Ritz
  • Fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 
Toss potato slices with salt, onion powder, garlic powder and cracked black pepper.
 

Layer the potatoes and cheese in alternating layers.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
 
Remove foil and you are going to bake an additional 40 minutes (that will be one hour total). The last 15 minutes of cooking add butter cracker / Parmesan topping.
In a bowl, crush butter crackers and add Parmesan. Mix together and reserve for topping. You may not need to use all of the topping.
 
 
Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
