Scalloped potatoes have been a classic comfort food side dish for centuries, and with good reason! They are creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. There are many variations to this dish, but the key ingredients are always potatoes, cheese, milk or cream, and butter (or another fat). While scalloped potatoes can be made with any type of potato, the best results come from using a starchy potato that will hold its shape when cooked, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. The cheese used in scalloped potatoes can also vary, but a good melting cheese like cheddar or Gruyère is a popular choice. This article will provide you with some of the best recipes for "cheddar cheese scalloped potatoes" that you can easily follow at home.

THREE CHEESE GARLIC SCALLOPED POTATOES



Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes image

If you love cheese and love potatoes you'll adore this delicious recipe! You can use any three cheeses you like, but I find using a sharp cheddar, freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, and thin sliced provolone (because it melts very well) are the best! Takes time to cook, but the result is so yummy and the smell is intoxicating!

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for dish
8 ounces shallots (about 4), thinly sliced (1 1/3 cups)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 thyme sprigs, plus 1 teaspoon leaves
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces sharp white cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in lower third. Brush a 2-to-2 1/2- quart baking dish with butter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme sprigs; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are beginning to turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes (if they brown quickly, reduce heat). Stir in potatoes, milk, cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard thyme.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer one-third of potato mixture to prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with one-third of cheese. Repeat layering once more; top with remaining potato mixture and season. Cut remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes; sprinkle over top. Carefully pour liquid from pan over top. Scatter on remaining cheese, thyme leaves, and more pepper. Transfer dish to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake until bubbly, 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool at least 20 minutes (so cream mixture can be fully absorbed), loosely tented with foil, before serving.
