Lemony potato bake is a delicious and tangy dish that combines creamy and tart flavors to create a delightful side for any meal. It's a perfect comfort food that pairs well with various main dishes, offering a unique twist on the traditional potato bake with the addition of lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with some butter or cooking spray to ensure the potato bake doesn’t stick.
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 cup chicken gravy. Stir well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
To the garlic-lemon mixture, add the 2 cups of sour cream and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Peel the 5 potatoes, then thinly slice them around 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Using a mandoline slicer can help ensure even thickness.
Place half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour half of the cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes, spreading it out evenly.
Add the remaining potato slices on top of the first layer, then pour the remaining half of the cream mixture over these potatoes.
Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the top is golden brown, and the edges are bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve the lemony potato bake warm. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Tips:
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add some fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary.
- Thinly slice the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and taste.
Lemony potato bake is an easy and flavorful recipe that can elevate your meal with its creamy texture and zesty taste. By following the tips and steps, you can create a dish that will impress your family and guests, making it a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire.
