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!

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, (thinly sliced into about ¼-inch thick slices)

chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.

GOLDEN SCALLOPED POTATOES



Golden Scalloped Potatoes image

Think of this as a streamlined and guilt-free version of scalloped potatoes. It's a toss-and-dump dish, in which I toss sliced potatoes with a little melted butter, dump them in a dish, then cover them with milk-healthier than heavy cream-that I've thickened slightly with a bit of flour (the flour keeps the milk from separating). The cheese topping is optional; with or without it, in less than an hour you will be rewarded with lusciously creamy potatoes along with that all-important browned crust. **_Editors' Note:_** Kemp Minifie reimagined the foil tray frozen dinner for [_Gourmet Live_](http://www.gourmet.com/).

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds medium to large boiling potatoes, such as Yukon gold (see Cooks' Notes)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups milk
4 ounces sharp Cheddar or Gruyère, coarsely grated (1 cup; optional)
Mandoline or vegetable slicer; 2-quart flameproof shallow baking dish (not glass)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking dish.
  • Peel and thinly slice potatoes into a large bowl and toss with butter. Spread potatoes in an even layer in the baking dish.
  • Put flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a heavy medium saucepan and slowly whisk in milk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Bring milk mixture just to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly (it will thicken slightly), and pour it over the potatoes. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake in oven until potatoes are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove foil and sprinkle with cheese, if using. Reset oven to broil and broil potatoes, about 4 to 5 inches from heat, until browned and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes.

SCALLOPED POTATOES



Scalloped Potatoes image

This recipe comes from Cheryl Rogowski, whose family has been farming the rich black earth on their patch of Orange County, N.Y., for more than 50 years. They started growing Keuka Golds because the two best-known potatoes in the country - russets and Yukon Golds - did not grow well there. Keukas have yellow flesh, rich flavor and pale skin like Yukons, but they can handle the region's drastic temperature swings, short growing season, divergent soils and uneven rainfall. For this dish, Yukons work equally well.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter, more for greasing pie plate
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium leek, white and light green parts only, minced
4 small cipollini onions or 1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced tarragon (or 1 to 2 teaspoons dried tarragon) plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped, for garnish
3 cups heavy cream
2 pounds (about 6 medium) Keuka Gold or Yukon Gold potatoes (unpeeled), sliced 1/8-inch thick
Kosherr salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate.
  • In a wide saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, leek and onions. Place over medium-low heat and sauté until mixture is light golden, about 15 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons tarragon, the cream and potatoes, and mix well. Simmer gently until potatoes are barely tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to pie plate, spreading them evenly and pressing lightly to compact them. Drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream from pan. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until top is light golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkling of chopped tarragon, and serve.

SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN



Scalloped Potato Gratin image

Is there anything better than a molten, golden-topped potato gratin? I don't think so, either. This one stays fairly classic - scented with sage, garlic and nutmeg, then showered with lots of nutty Gruyère. My tweak is in form rather than flavor. Instead of piling the potatoes an inch or two deep in a gratin dish, I shingle the slices in a shallow sheet pan. It gives the whole thing a more elegant look, and you get maximum browning and crunch on top. There's less of the gooey center, but what it loses in ooze it makes up for in increased surface area for the crisp-edged baked cheese.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), plus more for greasing the aluminum foil, at room temperature
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
4 fat garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more as needed
5 large eggs
4 pounds russet potatoes (about 6 large or 8 medium)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups grated Gruyère (8 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, and brush 1/4 cup butter on a rimmed 17-by-13-inch baking sheet. Brush one or two pieces of foil (enough to cover the top of the pan) with more butter. Set the foil aside.
  • In a medium pot, bring the cream, sage, garlic, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by a quarter, about 15 minutes.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Beating constantly, gradually add a little of the hot cream to the eggs, then slowly pour in the rest of the hot cream, whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling. Set aside.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
  • Arrange one layer of potatoes on the buttered baking sheet, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, add pepper to taste, then pour half the egg mixture over the potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat the layers of potato, seasoning and egg mixture. Top with the remaining 1 3/4 cups cheese. Cover the baking sheet with the foil (buttered-side down) and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the potatoes and cheese are browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If the potatoes are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy crust.
  • Serve the potatoes hot. They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Golden scalloped potatoes are a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect scalloped potatoes that will be loved by everyone.
