Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F; butter a large casserole dish with 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter. If you use a casserole dish that is about 9x13, you'll have more surface area, more of the potatoes will brown, and the cooking time will be faster.
- Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with 1/3 of the potato slices.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Layer on 1/2 of the sliced onions and 1/2 cup of the Gruyere cheese.
- Layer on 1/2 of the bacon, 1/2 of the parsley and chives.
- Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
- Repeat by layering on 1/3 of the potato slices, sprinkle again with salt and pepper.
- Layer on the remaining sliced onions, 1/2 cup of the Gruyere cheese, the remaining bacon, parsley and chives.
- Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
- Top the casserole with the remaining potato slices. Add the half and half. Dot the potatoes with the remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter.
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for one hour. After an hour, remove from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
- Return to the oven for an additional 30-40 minutes.
- When done, the potatoes should be tender, but not mushy, and the liquid should be mostly absorbed.
- Note: For a faster cooking time, you can parboil the sliced potatoes for 8 minutes first, patting them dry, before layering them in the casserole pan. In this case the total oven cooking time is about 35-45 minutes.

Steps:
- Directions Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until foaming subsides, about 1 minute. Add onion and saute until it turns soft and begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, milk, thyme, salt, pepper, and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a light simmer, and cook until potatoes are almost tender (paring knife can be slipped into and out of center of potato slice with some resistance), about 15 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs. Pour half the potato mixture into a 3-quart dish and sprinkle with half the cheese. Then pour the remaining potatoes on top and sprinkle with the rest of these cheese. Bake until the cream has thickened and is bubbling around sides and the top is golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. A combination of Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes will give you a creamy, flavorful dish.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar and a nutty Gruyère will give you the best flavor.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what makes scalloped potatoes so rich and delicious.
- Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them set and make them easier to slice.
