Ruth's Chris Potatoes au Gratin Copycat

It was a bit of work, but worth it as it was the only dish I was making for a carry in. I doubled the recipe and had no trouble cooking the potatoes in one pan. It turned out being more of a cheesy creamed potato than au gratin. I might reduce the amount of heavy cream next try.

Creamy and delicious. There is a lot of cheese...but that is kind of the point. It was a pretty simple recipe to make.

layered cheese throughout layers of potatoes when pouring into the casserole dish.

This was delicious! I've never precooked the potatoes on the stovetop, but it works beautifully. I added about 2 cups of cubed ham that was leftover from Christmas dinner and substituted half and half for the heavy cream. Provolone and cheddar were perfect for this recipe. I'm thinking that I will add some red pepper flakes and paprika the next time I make this. Very creamy and cheesy. My family loved it!

I tried to just make in cast-iron skillet, but it really wasn’t deep enough to cook on the stove & the potatoes weren’t cooked through after the oven.

My photo doesn't look the best cause we put a lid on it to take it elsewhere, but man these were good. That shredded cheese mix was 👌
