Ingredients

Scale

4 cups russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 medium onion, finely diced
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, combine heavy cream, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese until melted.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over them, add sautéed onions, and sprinkle some cheddar cheese.
Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with a generous layer of cheddar on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil in the last 15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
