RACHAEL RAY'S CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES



Rachael Ray's Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes image

This recipe comes from Rachael Ray's "Everyday" magazine. This was in the December 2008 holiday edition. I used this recipe on Christmas day and it makes by far the best scalloped potatoes I've ever had. I will be doubling the recipe in 2009. The Gruyere cheese takes this recipe over the top! However, it is a bit on the pricey side.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
salt
3 lbs baking potatoes, preferably Idaho, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 ounces gruyere cheese, coarsely grated (about 3/4 cup)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
black pepper
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the top half of the oven and preheat to 375°. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water with the milk, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer half the potatoes to a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish; arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with half the cheese and the cayenne; season with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top. Bake the scalloped potatoes until golden and crisp on top, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-shredded cheese.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead.
  • Add some crumbled bacon or cooked sausage to the potatoes for extra flavor.
  • Top the potatoes with bread crumbs or crushed crackers before baking for a crispy topping.
  • For a cheesy crust, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes before baking.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately after baking, while they are still hot and bubbly.
