2 tablespoons olive oil

This is one of my favorite recipes for potatoes au gratin. I make this is an enameled cast iron casserole so I can make the sauce and bake the potatoes all in the same pan. If you don't have one of those, just make the sauce, stir in the potatoes and then pour the mixture into a buttered 2 or 3 qt. casserole dish.

Tips:

  • Cut the Potatoes Uniformly: Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic provides the best flavor. If using garlic powder, add it towards the end of cooking to avoid burning.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes well. Garlic and paprika are classic seasonings, but you can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme.
  • Cook the Potatoes Until Golden Brown: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Serve Immediately: Garlicky potatoes are best served hot and crispy. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course with a simple salad.
