Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Put the potatoes in a large pot. Whisk the cream, flour, bay leaf, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a bowl, then pour over the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, carefully stirring occasionally, until the cream just comes to a simmer, about 12 minutes. Continue to simmer, adjusting the heat if necessary and stirring to prevent the bottom from scorching, until the potatoes just begin to soften, about 5 more minutes.
- Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish; discard the bay leaf. Set the baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
BAKED SCALLOPED POTATOES
A warm and cozy comfort food that goes great with anything, fancy or plain. Use whatever type of condensed cream soup you like. I normally use broccoli, mushroom, or chicken depending on the accompanying entree. Use any milk, but not cream or half and half.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel and thinly slice the raw potatoes.
- Layer the potatoes in a greased glass baking dish, putting minced onion, salt and pepper, to taste, between layers.
- Pour enough heavy cream over potatoes till it reaches one inch below top of potatoes.

- The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any amount of potatoes you want. Put enough heavy cream to come one inch below top of potatoes.
- I used 5 medium russet potatoes and 3 cups of heavy cream. I then layered mine in a greased 2.75 square glass baking pan. The amount that I fixed cooked for 1 hour 40 minutes.

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES
This is a delicious side dish can be largely assembled ahead: Leave off the last portion of cheese, cover the dish with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate it for up to one day. Remove it 30 minutes before baking, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake as instructed.

Tips:

- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your scalloped potatoes a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Let the scalloped potatoes rest before serving: This will help them set and become even more creamy.
