Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced or sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender, then drain well.
  3. In a pan, melt butter and sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  4. Add milk or cream and heat gently, then stir in half of the cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Place the potatoes in the baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over them, mixing gently to coat.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and add paprika if desired.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms for extra texture.
  • Mix cheeses such as mozzarella or gouda for richer flavor.
  • Use heavy cream instead of milk for extra creaminess.
  • Add chili flakes for a slight spicy kick.
  • Add a splash of milk when reheating to maintain creaminess.
