Description
These Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are creamy, rich, and comforting, made with thinly sliced potatoes layered with garlic cream, cheddar, and parmesan, then baked until tender and golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the garlic, cooking briefly until fragrant.
- Stir in the cream, salt, and pepper and heat until just beginning to boil, then remove from heat.
- Layer half of the potatoes in the baking dish and pour over half of the cream mixture.
- Sprinkle with half of the cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for even potato slices.
- Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded.
- Let the dish rest briefly before serving for cleaner slices.
