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.

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.

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!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
½ onion, thinly sliced
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
6 tablespoons butter, diced and divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups whole milk, or as needed

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.

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!
