Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl with the sour cream mixture. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

  5. Arrange half of the coated potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese mixture over the potatoes.

  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining potato slices and shredded cheese.

  7. Pour the milk evenly over the top of the potato and cheese layers. This will help keep the potatoes moist and creamy as they bake.

  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  9. After 45 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  10. Once done, remove the cheesy potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
