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.
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:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for scalloped potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a mandoline slicer for consistent slices: If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The potatoes should be in a single layer, so use a large enough baking dish.
- Use a combination of cheeses: A blend of cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère cheese will give the scalloped potatoes a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
Conclusion:
Mini scalloped potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and holiday meals. With their creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and crispy edges, these mini scalloped potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
