Oil spray
1.2 kg / 2.4 lb starchy potatoes (, large long ones (Note 1))
30g /2 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1/2 cup heavy / thickened cream
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves ((or 3/4 tsp dried))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C (all oven types).

  • Cream: Drizzle each potato stack with 1 tsp of cream mixture - use 1/2 of the mixture.
  • Cheese slice: Top with cheese slice.
  • Top with potato, cream then thyme: Top each stack with remaining potato slices so the height is about 1cm / 1/3" above the rim of the muffin tin (they sink once baked). Drizzle with remaining cream mixture and sprinkle with most of the thyme (reserve some for topping).
  • Baked 40 minutes: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until potato is cooked through. A small sharp knife should go through without any resistance.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES



Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes image

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.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups potatoes (thinly sliced, use a food processor or mandolin)
1/4 cup onion (chopped, for dietary purposes would use spring onion)
1 tablespoon flour
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 teaspoon salt (personally omit due to dietary reasons and use salted butter)
1/8 teaspoon pepper (personally would use more)
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 1/2 cups milk (heated)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread half of your potatoes on the bottom of the dish, overlapping as necessary and then layer half of your onions.
  • In a small separate bowl, mix your flour, butter, salt and pepper then sprinkle half of this mixture to make the next layer and then on top of this layer half of your cheese and the repeat to create your second layer and now add milk and cook for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are good and tender (Just to warn you this is supposed to look pretty soupy. To be safe, you might want to put a piece of aluminum foil underneath your pan in case of run over,).
