Pour this 1 creamy pour-over over potatoes into a glass casserole dish for a cozy winter supper that’s absurdly satisfying

Step 2: Layer the Potatoes

1. Grease a glass casserole dish with butter.
2. Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom.
3. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and some diced onion if using.
4. Repeat layering until all potatoes are in the dish. Lightly press down so the layers are snug.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Pour-Over

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. This will slightly thicken your sauce.
3. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk until smooth.
4. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stir in ¾ of your shredded cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
6. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4: Pour Over and Bake

1. Carefully pour the creamy sauce over the layered potatoes in the casserole dish. Make sure every layer gets a touch of sauce.
2. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
3. For a crunchy topping, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan and melted butter, then scatter it over the cheese.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

1. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6: Serve Warm

• Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
• Pair it with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a full winter meal.

Tips for an Extra Cozy Twist

• Herbs: Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the pour-over for a fragrant winter aroma.
• Bacon: Crisp bacon bits sprinkled on top take this to the next level of indulgence.
• Cheese Swap: Try mixing Gruyère and sharp cheddar for a rich, nutty flavor.

This creamy pour-over potato casserole isn’t just food—it’s a hug in a dish. Each bite is velvety, cheesy, and utterly satisfying, making it perfect for snowy nights, cozy family dinners, or anytime you crave comfort with a touch of decadence.
