Au Gratin Potatoes

These cheesy and creamy potatoes are so easy and so good! I'm getting hungry just thinking about them!

4 1/2 - 5 cups of Russet potatoes, cubed
1 TBSP butter, softened
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 TBSP flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
pepper, to taste
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Smear softened butter around on the inside of a 9 x 9 baking dish (or similar size). In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, flour, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place half of the potatoes in the baking dish and spread out evenly. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Place the remaining potatoes in the baking dish, then pour the remaining cream mixture evenly on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for about 20 more minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and bubbly. Sprinkle cheese on top of the potatoes and bake until cheese is melted (about 5 more minutes). Yum!
