creamy herbed potatoes

I know, it seems way too hot to turn on your oven today. However, I had some nice onions and potatoes in my veg box, a bunch of herbs in my pandemic garden, and this little carton of Oatley single cream I’ve been wanting to try, so I thought I’d do some scalloped potatoes/potatoes au gratin/whatever. Turns out oatmilk single cream is seriously awesome for this. This was tasty and easy. I’m not sure if other brands of oatmilk single cream would be as great, but the Oatley one was excellent. Regular cream would also work, if that is what you would normally use. You need about a cup of cream for every 1.5 pounds (3-4 large) potatoes. Here is what you do.

Preheat your oven to 190C/375F. Thinly slice your potatoes and onions. I had a mandolin so this took less than a minute. Grab some fresh herbs or dried ones. I had sage, oregano, thyme, and rosemary, but used what you like. Rub oil on the pan you will be using. Put a layer of potatoes, a layer of herbs, layer of onions, a layer of potatoes, a layer of herbs, a layer of onions, until you run out of potatoes and onions. Mix some salt, garlic powder, and lemon pepper into your cream and pour it over the potatoes and onions so it comes about 2/3 of the way up. Cover with foil and bake for an hour and take the foil off for the last 20 mins.
