Ruth's Chris Cheesy Potatoes Recipe

This recipe combines tender slices of potato with a rich and creamy cheese sauce that will make any meal special.
For that perfect golden crust, make sure you don’t skip the step of baking it in the oven at a high temperature.
One trick that sets this dish apart is simmering the potatoes gently in the cream before baking.
