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.

LOADED SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Generously butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Cook the bacon until crispy, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Drain and crumble.
• Place the butter and bacon drippings in a large microwave-safe dish (I use a 1-quart pyrex measuring cup). Microwave on high until butter is melted.
• Stir in flour and whisk until smooth. Microwave on high for 2 minute, stopping half way through to stir. Slowly whisk in the hot milk. Return to microwave and cook for two or three more minutes on high, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly. Stir in salt, cayenne, and nutmeg.
• Spread a third of the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with a third of the cheese, 1/3 cup green onions, and a third of the crumbled bacon. Spread evenly with a third of the sauce. Repeat to make 3 layers, except do not put cheese on the top layer.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
• Remove foil and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake until cheese is bubbly.
• Let sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

LOADED SCALLOPED POTATOES {GRAIN FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line large bar pan/baking pan/jelly roll pan with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
• Peel and thinly slice potatoes, about 1/4" thick. If you have a mandolin by all means use that. Otherwise just do your best to carefully thinly slice the potatoes.
• Evenly distribute and layer potatoes and minced garlic across lined baking pan. Add dots of butter on top of the potatoes and season with sea salt.
• Bake for 10 minutes, remove potatoes just to stir and and evenly coat with melted butter. Return to oven and bake for 20 minutes. Using caution, carefully remove pan from oven and sprinkle cheese all over tops of potatoes. Return to oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked through and cheese is bubbling with light golden brown edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
• Top with crumbled crispy bacon, sour cream and chopped cilantro/parsley/green onions/chives. Enjoy!
