Scalloped Potatoes
The most comforting dish of cheese and potatoes you will ever enjoy! This is the perfect hearty side to a BBQ!
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 6 Potatoes peeled, thinly sliced, any potato will do. I used Idaho
- 1 Yellow Onion thinly sliced
- 6 Garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Cheese freshly grated, use colby jack, cheddar, or gouda. Or all 3 mixed.
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp All purpose Flour
- 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Stock
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Saute the onion and garlic in the butter until lightly browned and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the flour to the caramelized onions and stir together to make a roux.
- Then, add the heavy cream and stock. Season with salt and pepper as well. Stir until the sauce start to thicken then set aside.
- In a greased pan, stack the potatoes slightly overlapping one another. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add half of the cream sauce on top of that and spread it out evenly. Add about 1 cup of the shredded cheese on top.
- Then, stack the rest of the potatoes and repeat the same steps. Add the cream sauce then the cheese, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese.
- Bake covered in a 400 F oven for 30 minutes then uncovered for another 30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. They may need lonher depending on the thickness of the cut of the potato.
Notes
Freshly grated cheese will taste better and melt better than pre-packaged shredded cheese.
Any potato will work for this recipe but I have only used Idaho and Russet.
