How To Make ruth’s chris potatoes au gratin
-
1Notes to make life easier - If I don’t want to chop onion I use dehydrated onion flakes. To avoid a messy baking dish, line it with parchment paper first.
-
2Note - Do not put potatoes in water after slicing, you need the starch.
-
3Place potatoes, onions and garlic salt in 2 qt pan. Add enough cream to cover, how much you need will depend on pan used.
-
4Bring to simmer and simmer until just getting tender, about 15-20 minutes. Do not cover, you want to cook off some of the liquid. Do not bring to full boil or you will break the sauce. While cooking preheat oven to 350 degrees. Taste the potatoes and add salt and pepper as needed.
-
5Pour potatoes into a shallow baking dish. I use a 9 inch deep dish pie pan for lots of surface. Top with a generous amount of grated cheese.
-
6Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cheese should be melted and potatoes tender.
