Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 8 by 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

After peeling and slicing your potatoes put them in a large bowl and cover with chicken stock and heavy cream so they don't brown as you prepare the rest of the recipe.

Over medium heat in a large dutch oven, melt the butter. Add in the onion and cook until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add in the garlic powder, salt, thyme, and black pepper.

Add the potatoes, cream, and stock to the dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and can be sliced with a paring knife with little resistance.

Transfer the potato mixture to the baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Top with the cheddar cheese and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with French's® Crispy Fried Onions and bake for an additional five minutes.

Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
