Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons salted butter ((plus enough to grease the pan))
3 pounds red potatoes (see notes) ((9 large potatoes, peeled & sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds))
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour ((divided use))
1 1/2 cups milk ((whole or 2%))

Steps:

  • Generously grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Peel all of the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Stir the salt, pepper and onion powder in a tiny bowl until combined. Divide it into three sections.
  • You will be making three layers of potatoes in the pan. Start by slicing 1 pound of potatoes (about 3 medium-to-large red potatoes) thinly (1/8-inch thick). A mandoline works well for this, but you could use a box grater or a food processor.
  • Blot the slices with paper towels to dry them and arrange them evenly in the pan, overlapping slightly and stacking as needed. (Continue blotting the potatoes with a paper towel as needed. You don't want soggy potatoes.)
  • Sprinkle on 1/3 of the total salt, pepper and onion powder mixture. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour over the potatoes. Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter into squares and dot them over the potatoes.
  • Slice another pound of potatoes as before and blot them dry. Arrange them in a new layer in the pan, stacking as needed. Sprinkle on half of the remaining salt, pepper, onion powder. Sprinkle on 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, reserving an even tablespoon of flour for the top layer. Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter and dot the butter over the potatoes.
  • Slice your final pound of potatoes as previously and blot them dry. Arrange the potatoes in an even layer, stacking as needed. Sprinkle on the remaining salt, pepper, onion powder. Evenly sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of flour (avoid having clumps of flour on the top layer, or you'll have raw flour on top after baking.) Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter and dot the pieces over the potatoes.
  • Pour the milk over the potatoes to fill the bottom of the pan and barely cover the potatoes.
  • Bake uncovered for 70-80 minutes. The potatoes are done when the entire surface is golden brown and crispy. The edges of the pan will have dark brown crust. (Watch the potatoes carefully starting at the 65-minute mark, since oven times vary.)
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to five days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave.

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!

MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN



Mom's Scalloped Potato Gratin image

These scalloped potatoes were one of my favorite foods growing up, but then I went to culinary school and learned, according to classical methods, how it was "supposed" to be made--and that's how I've been making it ever since. But recently, for whatever reason, I went back and tried to recreate my mother's version and was reminded of why I loved hers in the first place.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large russet potatoes, or more to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¾ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
3 ½ cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter and set aside.
  • Peel potatoes and cut at a 45-degree angle into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the layer very generously with salt, and sparingly with the freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Top evenly with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three layers of potatoes, except for the last third of the cheese. Slowly and carefully pour in the milk, without upsetting the layers. The milk should almost, but not quite, cover the potatoes.
  • Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and place the casserole dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is well browned and bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best due to their low starch content and ability to hold their shape.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: Aim for ⅛-inch slices to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
  • Use a mandoline for uniform slices: If you have one, a mandoline is the quickest and easiest way to achieve consistent potato slices.
  • Soak the potatoes (optional): Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in a less gummy texture.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Sharp cheddar or a combination of cheeses like Gruyère, Parmesan, and mozzarella adds richness and depth of flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: It's what adds that classic scalloped potato flavor. Use unsalted butter for better control over the dish's saltiness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Spread the potato slices in an even layer so they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Bake until golden brown and bubbly: The scalloped potatoes are done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that's easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, these tips will help you create a delicious and memorable dish. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in the cheesy, creamy goodness of Mom's Red Scalloped Potatoes!
