Crunchy Scalloped Potatoes With Thyme Food

ALL-CRUST SHEET-PAN SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with the butter.
• Bring the cream, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then turn off stove.
• Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick rounds.) Arrange half the potato slices into a single, overlapping layer on the sheet pan, and sprinkle evenly with salt and half the grated Parmesan. Top with the remaining potato slices and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle the hot cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with Gruyere and the remaining Parmesan. Cook uncovered until very brown and crusty on top, rotating the pan halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

CRISPY LAYERED THYME POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the peeled potatoes as finely as possible on a mandolin, with the fine slicing blade of a food processor, or with a very sharp knife. (The more finely you slice them, the quicker and more evenly they will cook.)
• Pat the potatoes dry with a clean tea towel and tip into a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter, sprinkle over the thyme and some salt (preferably sea salt or rock salt), and toss until each slice is coated in butter.
• In a roasting tin, measuring about 20 x 20cm, assemble the potato slices vertically, tightly packed together like a deck of cards, until the dish is full and you've used all the potatoes. Sprinkle with a little more salt and place in the oven for 45-50 mins until crisp and cooked. Use a skewer or small sharp knife to check that the potatoes are completely soft and cooked in the centre. Serve from the tin alongside the lamb.

FANCY CRUSTED ROSEMARY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch baking dish cooking spray.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and garlic together in a bowl.
• Slice 3 or 4 potatoes using a mandolin on the thinnest setting. Slice remaining potatoes using a slightly thicker setting on the mandolin.
• Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with thin potato slices, overlapping them to create a layer that is 2 to 3 slices deep. Stand remaining thin slices along the sides of the baking dish so that half an inch sticks over the rim, overlapping them to create a layer that is 4 slices deep.
• Spread 1/3 of the thicker potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Repeat once more. Arrange remaining potato slices in the baking dish. Reserve 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour. Pour in milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in salt.
• Shift potato slices in a few places with a knife to create wells for the sauce to flow through. Pour sauce evenly over potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Brush potato edges sticking out of the baking dish with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft and edges are crusted, 60 to 75 minutes.
