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.

  • 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.

Time 2h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 baking potatoes, peeled & sliced thin
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups of grated medium cheddar
6 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut into thin squares (approx 1 1/2 Inch Piece off a Large Block)
1 small yellow onion
1/4 cup chives (Freshly Chopped)
1 teaspoon Lipton Onion Soup Mix (Dry)

Steps:

  • In a large covered casserole dish spray entire dish with a cooking spray and then spread 1 entire can of Cream of Mushroom soup evenly on the bottom (best way I've found to prevent the potatoes from sticking & adds flavor).
  • Chop the onion into very small pieces & set aside.
  • In a separate bowl mix 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup, the Sour Cream and 1 TSP of Dry Lipton Onion Soup Mix (added for the flavor of the seasonings which makes it extra tasty).
  • Peel & Slice the Potatoes Thin.
  • LAYER #1: Start layering in the casserole dish with the Cream of Mushroom soup on the bottom: Layer of POTATOES then spread approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture on top, then ONIONS then ½ cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
  • LAYER #2: POTATOES then approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture, then VELVETA CHEESE squares distributed evenly across.
  • LAYER #3: POTATOES then all the remaining SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture then the remaining 1 cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
  • Sprinkle the chives evenly across the top.
  • BAKE COVERED in the oven at 300 degrees for about 1½ hour.
  • BAKE UNCOVERED for approx another 1 hour or as needed until done and top is slightly browned (test with a fork and make sure the potatoes are done). Note: Baking uncovered at the end helps reduce the excess moisture.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices. This will help the potatoes cook evenly and give the dish a more professional look.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you try to fit too many potatoes in the pan, they will not cook evenly. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Don't stir the potatoes too often. Stirring the potatoes will break them up and make them mushy. Stir them gently once or twice during the cooking process.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender and golden brown. The potatoes should be cooked through but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately. Scalloped potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.
  • Garnish the potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your scalloped potatoes turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give scalloped potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
