Description
Deliciously creamy and cheesy scalloped potatoes that are perfect for family gatherings and comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups heavy cream (or a creamy alternative)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp works great)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Combine the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl.
- Grease a baking dish with butter or oil. Begin layering your potato slices at the bottom, adding some creamy mixture, sautéed onions, and garlic. Repeat the layering process, finishing with the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
