This is a very easy version of potatoes au gratin that I have found. By cooking potatoes on stovetop it is so much quicker when you put the finished assembled dish in the oven. You can also make this ahead of time up to the baking step.

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes - I like to use the small red skin type. No need to peel. Just slice thin.
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
3 cloves mined garlic
2T butter
2 cups shredded cheese - cheddar, Mexican blend, Gruyère, etc
Chopped green onion - optional

Directions

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add garlic and sauté.
Add cream and broth to the pan. Add the thinly sliced potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes - until you can easily poke potatoes with a fork.
Remove from heat.
Spray baking dish with Pam
On the bottom of your baking dish, pour a small amount of cream sauce. Add layer of potatoes, green onions and cheese
Repeat potatoes and green onions.
Pour cream sauce over the potatoes. Add a generous top layer of cheese.
Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. Cool about 10 minutes before serving.
