1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Opt for sharp cheddar to enhance the flavor profile.
1 cup sour cream Adds a tangy creaminess that balances the dish.
1 cup heavy cream Ensures a rich and velvety texture that embraces the potatoes.

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor.
1 small onion chopped, sweet onions work wonderfully for a mild flavor enhancement.
2 cloves garlic minced, fresh garlic brings a fragrant punch that elevates the dish.

1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste; it brings out the flavors of all the other ingredients.
½ teaspoon black pepper Provides a hint of spice to complement the creamy mixture.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Boil in a large pot for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes with cheddar cheese, bacon, onion, garlic, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
Grease a baking dish, transfer the potato mixture into it, and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
