Check out our take on a classic dish! Thinly sliced potatoes layered, topped with cheese, and baked in a creamy Cajun sauce! For an added cheesy bonus, mix in your favorite cheeses between each layer!
How To Do Dat
1. Pre-heat oven to 375
2. Combine 3 cups of heavy cream, 2 tsp of salt, 2 tsp chicken bouillon (optional), 2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp thyme, 2 tsp Chef Bre’s Cajun seasoning, and 1 Tbsp of butter ina saucepan on a med-low heat. Bring to low boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
3. Coat the bottom of your baking dish with 1 Tbsp of melted butter (or 1 Tbsp of duck fat).
4. Arrange potato slices on the bottom of your pan. Sprinkle the first layer of your potatoes with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, ¼ of your sliced onions, ¼ of your minced garlic, 2 Tbsp of butter, and 2 Tbsp flour.
5. Repeat step 4, 3-4 more times depending on the size of your dish.
6. Top final layer with remaining onions, 2 Tbsp of flour, heavy cream mixture, your cheeses and fresh parsley.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. To brown top of potatoes, turn oven broiler setting on high, and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until top is golden.
