Ingredients




2 Russet Potatoes
 cup Half & Half
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
 cup Shredded Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese
 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 small Garlic Clove, minced
Salt & Pepper, to taste

inch Butter, to butter the dishes (definitely use 
Preparation

1 Carefully slice potatoes as thin as possible. Add slice potatoes to a bowl and pour the half & half on top. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt & pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly. Generously butter your dish(es) because this will also be one of the flavorings, not just for greasing. Spoon your potatoes evenly into 2 small ramekins and flatten to make sure they're in an even layer. Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 40 minutes, then remove and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

I love cheesy Au Gratin potatoes...one of my favorites.  I always use heavy cream because it helps make a heavier sauce.  These sound very good, and the browning of cheese gives them a crunchier texture on top!

Good Sunday afternoon! Well I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Friday when we were out I noticed a sign for a new shopping center near us that was having a pumpkin festival Saturday. I saw tons of pumpkins (which always excites me this time of year, so pretty) and I was thinking we should maybe check it out, and I planned to look up more information on it on the computer when I got home. Well I was about to head to bed around 1 in the morning and I quickly remembered to look it up. Well I saw that they were having a pumpkin dessert contest, and that you don't have to register until you get there with your dessert in hand. I was SO excited, I couldn't pass it up! I knew right away what I was going to make, and the next morning my husband and I headed out early and got my ingredients. You could submit as many entry's as you want, and I chose 2: Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Icing, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Well I'm so thrilled to say that I won 2nd and 3rd place! I really enjoyed it and I can't wait until next year! Now, on to these insanely delicious potatoes. Wow, these were good. You can definitely just make them in a big casserole dish instead of the individual ones, but I just love my colorful little ramekins from the Target dollar spot (even though I think these were $2.50 for a set of 4) but so worth it! You must must MUST make these! I would highly suggest letting the top layer of cheese get as brown as mine did, because to me, that totally made them! Enjoy!!
