Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°. In a skillet, cook the onion and 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is very soft. In a heavy saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the remaining butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking, and bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer the sauce, whisking, for 1 minute and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them ⅛-inch thick. Spread about one third of the sauce in the bottom of a well-buttered 3-quart gratin dish at least 2 ½-inches deep, cover it with a layer of potato slices, overlapping the slices slightly, and cover the potatoes with one third of the onions. Sprinkle the onions with one third of the Cheddar and continue to layer the remaining sauce, potatoes, onions, and Cheddar in the same manner. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs, and dot it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits.
- Bake the mixture, covered with foil, in the middle of preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake the potato mixture for 35 minutes more, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. Russet, Yukon Gold, and red potatoes all work well in scalloped potatoes. Using a variety of potatoes will give the dish a more complex flavor and texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Layer the potatoes and cheese in a baking dish. Be sure to season each layer with salt and pepper.
- Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the scalloped potatoes a rich, cheesy flavor.
- Bake the scalloped potatoes until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let the scalloped potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them set and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make scalloped potatoes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
