Cheesy Potato Casserole

Looking for something new to do with potatoes? Try this Cheesy Potato Casserole.

If you use a food processor to grate the cheese and potatoes, this is a quick meal. (There's no need to wash the food processor in between the cheese and potatoes.) You can also use a hand grater, but that will take more time. You can choose to peel the potatoes, or not. (I don't.) I have used only Cheddar cheese in this recipe, but if you're more adventurous than I, you can try your favorite cheese.

2 Tbsp/30 mL melted butter

2/3 cup/150 mL half-and-half (light cream)

1/2 cup/125 mL cream cheese, softened

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups/375 mL grated cheese

1 tsp/5 mL dried thyme

salt

pepper

3 large potatoes

Preheat oven to 400F/205C.

Grease a 9x13" baking dish with the butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and the cream cheese.
Add the eggs to the bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Add the cheese, thyme, salt and pepper to the bowl.
Grate the potatoes. Add them to the bowl. Mix well.
Spread in the baking dish. Bake until golden brown and very crisp on top (about 50-60 minutes).
