The Greenbrier is a luxury resort located in the Allegheny Mountains near White Sulphur Springs in WV. This recipe is adapted from one of their recipes and will add a flair of elegance to your holiday dinners.
Greenbrier Garlic Potatoes are thinly sliced potatoes simmered in heavy cream, with fresh garlic, and seasonings. Eggs and fresh parmesan cheese are added, then baked in this creamy sauce.
I always make scalloped potatoes for every holiday meal, but tried these potatoes today, and my family really liked them.
The Greenbrier Resort is a breathtakingly beautiful resort, full of so much history. Presidents and movie stars are among the people that have stayed here. HERE is the post with pictures from the Greenbrier when my husband and I spent an anniversary there.
In the basement is a bunker that was built during the Cold War as a secret relocation facility for Congress in the event of a nuclear attack. They still do tours, and it left me feeling so much patriotism.
They have several different places to dine here, and sell cookbooks that include some of their recipes. I have adapted this recipe from one of the cookbooks.

YES. You can put it together a day ahead of time and wrap tightly with Cling Wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate. Bake prior to serving. The sauce may become thicker as it cools and sets, so stir in a little more heavy cream if needed.
