- Cream sauce: Into the remaining butter, add garlic and cook for 20 seconds. Add cream and salt then bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 seconds, then remove from stove and keep warm.

THE BEST CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES
What makes this the best out of all the scalloped potatoes recipes out there? I slice them extra thin and toss them in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Then, to make them the best ever, I sprinkle homemade bread crumbs on top-they get nice and crispy in the oven. Make room for these at all your family get-togethers. -Aria Thornton, Taste of Home Prep Cook

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES
A delicious recipe from Southern to the Core cookbook received from BusyMomof3 in the 2011 Cookbook Swap, must admit to cooking this but I add ham and spring onion (scallion in place of onion) to the mix so consider this the base mix and delicious. On preparation time it can vary hugely dependig on if you use a mondolin or food processor or by hand and then depending on your knife skills, so I have tried to take a middle line here on the timing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thinly slice the potatoes into rounds about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. Submerge in a large bowl of water to keep from browning and set aside.

- In a medium baking dish, add 2 layers of the sliced potatoes, followed by a layer of the sliced onions. Pour on half of the cheese sauce and spread with a spatula to coat all of the potatoes and onions. Add another 2 layers of potatoes and pour on the remaining cheese sauce.
- Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 1 hour. Then, uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes more, until the top is golden and bubbling and the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
- Enjoy!
