Roasted Potatoes and Cheese Hors d'oeuvres Created by Ruth Paget

Roasted Potatoes and Cheese Hors d’oeuvres Created by Ruth Paget

I would make a recipe similar to this one when I lived in France and Germany called gratin Dauphinois.  It is made with crème fraîche, an ingredient which can be expensive in the United States.  I have used sour cream in this recipe and changed the Emmenthal cheese to Monterey Jack.

This version is a great as an hors d’oeuvres or as a side dish for steaks or beef or pork roasts.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

-4 large, washed, peeled, and sliced Idaho potatoes
-2 teaspoons dry garlic
-4 cups sour cream
-2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
-Pam® for spraying baking dish

Steps:

1-Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Spray Pam© on baking dish.

2-Spread some of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.  Place a layer of potatoes on top of the cheese mixture.

3-Spread some cheese mixture on top of the potatoes and layer with more potatoes.  Spread cheese mixture on top of this.  Repeat and finish with a layer of the cheese mixture.

4-Bake for 1 hour.
