THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.
• Add the sliced potatoes, heavy cream, whole milk, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and almost cooked through but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. (They should not be soft and falling apart.) Remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Add the Gruyere and Parmesan, stirring gently to combine. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter a deep 20 x 30cm baking dish. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins until the onion has softened slightly. Tip in the flour, stir well, then cook for a few minutes more. Mix the milk and stock together, then gradually pour this in, whisking well between additions until everything is incorporated and you have a smooth sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then season well.
• Lay half the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the buttered dish, slightly overlapping them if needed. Pour over half the sauce, then scatter over half the parmesan. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, then pour over the remaining sauce and scatter with the remaining parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for another 30 mins until golden on top.

SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1) In stock pot, bring water to boil and then preheat the over to 375 degrees F.
• 2) Slice potatoes 1/4" thick; I prefer them with the skins on. (Can be completed ahead of time).
• 3) Shred all your cheeses and combine, mixing well. Set aside about 1/3 of a cup for topping. (This can be done earlier in the day.).
• 4) Parboil sliced potatoes for 1-2 minutes. They should just be slightly tender. Remove and drain on towel Let them completely dry. (This can be done ahead of time.).
• 5) In small saucepan, combine flour and butter over low heat and make a roux. Then add cream and continue heating on low heat, stirring gently.
• 6) Once the cream is warm, but not boiling, add the cheese in small quantities until all the cheese is melted and incorporated. Add salt, pepper, and paprika. Continue heating until the sauce thickens.
• 6) In a greased 9x9 glass roasting dish, layer potatoes in the bottom, about two layers tall. Pour part of the cheese mixture over this layer. Repeat until all the sauce and potatoes are used.
• 7) Top the potatoes with the 1/3c. of cheese mixture.
• 8) Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. If the top isn't thoroughly browned after the 45 minutes, increase the temperature to 450 degrees F. and bake until golden brown OR place under the broiler. If you broil them, watch them closely so they don't burn!
• 9) Let them cool before serving.
• Just one note, cheddar cheese is fairly high in oil, so after cooking you can remove some of the excess released from the cooking process fat with a spoon.
