It was one of those evenings where the couch was calling my name, and anything more than minimal effort was out of the question. I needed something comforting, simple, and satisfying. A quick scan of my pantry confirmed it: potatoes and cream. That’s all I needed to whip up something that would soothe the soul.
Ingredients
4 medium potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for cooking
How to Make It
Peel and slice the potatoes thinly.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften.
Pour in the cream and stir gently.
Add garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese on top and cover the skillet.
Let it cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Scoop onto plates and enjoy immediately, possibly with a side of crusty bread to soak up the creamy goodness.
