Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream plus more, if needed
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds Idaho potatoes scrubbed clean, peeled
  • 4 ounces Cheddar grated, divided
  • 4 ounces pimentos chopped, drained

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes into 1/4" slices
  • Bring to cream to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
  • Add the potatoes. Add more cream if the potatoes aren't covered.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are just becoming tender. This will take 10-12 minutes. If the potatoes stick to each other you can break them apart with a fork but be careful to not poke or break the potatoes.
  • Remove potatoes from the heat.
  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Spoon 1/3 of the potatoes into the pan. Also get some of the cream. Spread the potatoes out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with 1/3rd of the cheese and 1/3rd of the pimentos.
  • Add another 1/3 of the potatoes and some of the cream, topped with another 1/3rd of the cheese and 1/3rd of the pimentos.
  • Finish up with the last of the potatoes, cream, cheese and pimentos.
  • Transfer the pan to the Big Easy. I recommend using a Bunk Bed basket because it's easier to get in/out of the Big Easy and it provides support to the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is starting to bubble and the tops of the potatoes start to turn golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the pan from the Big Easy. If using a Bunk Bed basket remove just the basket.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
