I made these potatoes for a family dinner over the holidays and got rave reviews. Absolutely delicious and easy to make—definitely a special dish to serve with any menu. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup half and half

1 (5-ounce) package Boursin cheese with herbs and garlic, broken into small chunks

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced

2 Tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400º F and arrange a rack in the center position. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, add cream, half-and-half and cheese and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and the cheese has melted. Remove pan from heat and set aside.

Arrange half the sliced potatoes in overlapping rows in the prepared baking dish. Generously season with salt and pepper and pour half the cream and cheese mixture evenly over potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cream mixture.

Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is nicely browned, about 55-60 minutes.
