Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s fully heated for even cooking.
- In a generously buttered 9″x9″ casserole dish, layer the potatoes alternately with the finely sliced onion and grated carrot, creating a beautiful and colorful presentation.
- As you build each layer, dot them with butter and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Once your layers are complete, pour the cream over the final layer, ensuring it’s smoothed evenly to cover all the ingredients.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- After 45 minutes, remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is just beginning to brown and form a delightful crust.
- Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting casserole as a delicious side dish!
