Then pour some cream and grated cheese on top and then sprinkle salt and ground pepper to taste. Repeat this same step until you finish with all the ingredients in layers. If you prefer, you can use this homemade sour cream recipe instead of cream.

When you finish assembling the tray of baked potatoes with cream and cheese, sprinkle the oregano, cover the dish with aluminum foil and cook them in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking until nicely browned.
Prick the baked potatoes au gratin with cream and cheese to check the consistency: if they are soft, remove them from the oven, but if not, leave them for another 5-10 minutes.
