Creamy Potatoes, Horseradish Bite, Prime Rib Ready

Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 60 min
Total Time: 1 1/2 hours
Serves: 10

What You Will Need

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 10 oz Yancey's Fancy Horseradish Cheddar, shredded
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, for the dish
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

What To Do

  1. Preheat and butter the dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter.
  2. Warm the cream: In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
  3. Toss and layer: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with the warm cream mixture and half of the Horseradish Cheddar. Spread into the prepared dish and top evenly with the remaining cheese.
  4. Bake covered: Cover tightly with foil and bake until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  5. Uncover and brown: Remove the foil and continue baking until deeply golden on top and fully tender.
  6. Rest and garnish: Let rest so the sauce sets slightly, then scatter the chives over the top before serving.

Pro Tips:

The horseradish cheddar's bite mellows significantly as it bakes, so it reads more as depth than heat by the time it's done. It's a natural partner for prime rib or holiday ham.
