Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet (18-by-13 inches).
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes; if the onions are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low. When the onions are almost done, stir in the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes to lightly toast. Remove from the heat.
- Shingle half of the potatoes in 6 or 7 even rows on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the sheet is completely covered. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with half of the fontina and Parmesan. Next, evenly spread the caramelized onions over the top; place the sauté pan back on the stovetop and reserve for later. Shingle the remaining half of the potatoes over the onions, and season with more salt and pepper.
- Turn the heat to medium under the sauté pan. Add the cream, rosemary, Dijon and lemon zest, stir together and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and then pour the cream over the potatoes; tilt the baking sheet slightly in all directions to ensure even coverage. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan.
- Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, the edges are crispy and the potatoes are tender, another 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cool for 15 minutes before serving.
SHEET PAN SCALLOPED SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes have gotten a bum deal when it comes to the holiday table. Mashed and mixed with any number of sweet stir-ins, they leave those of us wishing for a savory option without much choice. This sheet pan side layers thinly sliced potatoes with the classic combination of Parmesan and Gruyere and rounds it all out with plenty of thyme and black pepper. Baking it on a sheet pan results in plenty of golden crispy edges as well as a tender potato center.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with the butter.
- Put the cream, salad dressing spread, thyme, cayenne, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often, then turn off the heat.
- Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer into about 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Arrange half of the potato slices in a single, overlapping layer on the prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and half of the Parmesan. Top with the remaining potato slices and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle the hot cream mixture over the potatoes.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with the Gruyere and remaining Parmesan. Cook, uncovered and rotating the pan halfway through, until the potatoes are very brown and crusty on top, 15 to 20 minutes more.
MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATOES
This is the way my mother always made her scalloped potatoes. The measurements are taken from other recipes because she always just winged it, but the method is the same. The key is to heat the milk first!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spread about 1/3 of the potato slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with about 1/3 of the onion slices. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over the potato and onion. Arrange 2 tablespoons butter atop the flour. Season the entire layer with salt and pepper. Repeat layering twice more.
- Heat milk in a saucepan until warm. Pour enough warm milk over the mixture in the baking dish so the top of the liquid is level with the final layer of potatoes.
- Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch baking dish cooking spray.
- Mix Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and garlic together in a bowl.
- Slice 3 or 4 potatoes using a mandolin on the thinnest setting. Slice remaining potatoes using a slightly thicker setting on the mandolin.
- Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with thin potato slices, overlapping them to create a layer that is 2 to 3 slices deep. Stand remaining thin slices along the sides of the baking dish so that half an inch sticks over the rim, overlapping them to create a layer that is 4 slices deep.
- Spread 1/3 of the thicker potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Repeat once more. Arrange remaining potato slices in the baking dish. Reserve 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour. Pour in milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in salt.
- Shift potato slices in a few places with a knife to create wells for the sauce to flow through. Pour sauce evenly over potato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese mixture on top. Brush potato edges sticking out of the baking dish with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft and edges are crusted, 60 to 75 minutes.

THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES
Creamy, cheesy and perfectly indulgent, scalloped potatoes are a classic for good reason. While cooking, the starch from the potatoes thickens the cream into a luscious sauce while the cheesy topping becomes golden and nutty in the oven. Allowing the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving makes it easier to slice.

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.
Tips:
- To ensure crispy potatoes, use a variety of thinly sliced potatoes, including Yukon Gold, Russet, and red potatoes.
- Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove excess starch and results in a crispier texture.
- Use a combination of melted butter and olive oil to coat the potatoes. This creates a flavorful and golden brown crust.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Serve the potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives, and a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche, if desired.
