Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet (18-by-13 inches).
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes; if the onions are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low. When the onions are almost done, stir in the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes to lightly toast. Remove from the heat.
- Shingle half of the potatoes in 6 or 7 even rows on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the sheet is completely covered. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with half of the fontina and Parmesan. Next, evenly spread the caramelized onions over the top; place the sauté pan back on the stovetop and reserve for later. Shingle the remaining half of the potatoes over the onions, and season with more salt and pepper.
- Turn the heat to medium under the sauté pan. Add the cream, rosemary, Dijon and lemon zest, stir together and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and then pour the cream over the potatoes; tilt the baking sheet slightly in all directions to ensure even coverage. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan.
- Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, the edges are crispy and the potatoes are tender, another 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cool for 15 minutes before serving.
THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- 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. (They should not be soft and falling apart.) Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the Gruyere and Parmesan, stirring gently to combine. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

SCALLOPED POTATOES
The perfect side dish to an elegant or celebratory main course, or the welcome addition to any potluck supper, scalloped potatoes are one of those dishes that seem complicated, but are deceptively simple. You'll need to put in a bit of "peeler time" to get the spuds ready for the oven, but after that it's just a long bake and a short standing period to let the sauce thicken. Then, voila! you're ready to serve.
