THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES



The Best Scalloped Potatoes image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup shredded Gruyere (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)

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.

PAULA DEAN'S SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Paula Dean's Scalloped Potatoes Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by Tufgrlz

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (5 pound) bag Yukon gold potatoes
2 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 (8 ounce) package shredded six cheese Italian blend
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Peel and thinly slice potatoes. Layer one-third of potatoes evenly over bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with half of shallots, half of salt, and half of cheese. Layer second third of potatoes over cheese; sprinkle with remaining shallots, salt, and cheese. Top evenly with remaining potatoes. In a small bowl, combine cream and water. Slowly pour cream mixture over potatoes. Cover and bake 11/2 hours. Uncover, and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. If you can't find Russet potatoes, you can also use Yukon Gold potatoes or a combination of both.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner you slice the potatoes, the better they will cook. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Layer the potatoes evenly: When layering the potatoes in the baking dish, make sure to overlap them slightly. This will help to create a creamy, cohesive dish.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your scalloped potatoes. Some good options include sharp cheddar cheese, Gruyère cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your potato slices. In general, you should bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
