I am so excited to share this Parmesan Brie Potato Gratin because it ticks a lot of boxes! Feel good food with wow-factor that’s mouth exploding delicious, straight forward, great for make-ahead  The perfect potato side dish for special occasions!

I forever  thought my Blue cheese and rosemary scallop potatoes  were the ultimate potato bake. But then i had some left over Brie from my burgers the other night, I crumbled it into the potatoes, baked it, and it catapulted into another stratosphere! Because brie trumps ordinary cheese every day of the week, and twice on special occasions.

Think: melt-in-your-mouth layers of thinly sliced potato bubbling away in a butter-cream sauce perfumed with just the right amount of garlic. Already great!

Arrange the sliced potatoes in a spiral pattern on top of the cooked shallots, layering with the crumbled Brie. Pour the cream mixture over top of the potatoes.

Cover the cast iron pan tightly with a piece of tin foil. Place the cast iron pan into the oven and bake for 1 hr. Check with fork to see potatoes are cooked.

Remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven temperature to broil.

Cover the potatoes with the grated Parmesan cheeses. Place pan into the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is crispy and bubbling.
