Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons salted butter ((plus enough to grease the pan))
3 pounds red potatoes (see notes) ((9 large potatoes, peeled & sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds))
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour ((divided use))
1 1/2 cups milk ((whole or 2%))

Steps:

  • Generously grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Peel all of the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Stir the salt, pepper and onion powder in a tiny bowl until combined. Divide it into three sections.
  • You will be making three layers of potatoes in the pan. Start by slicing 1 pound of potatoes (about 3 medium-to-large red potatoes) thinly (1/8-inch thick). A mandoline works well for this, but you could use a box grater or a food processor.
  • Blot the slices with paper towels to dry them and arrange them evenly in the pan, overlapping slightly and stacking as needed. (Continue blotting the potatoes with a paper towel as needed. You don't want soggy potatoes.)
  • Sprinkle on 1/3 of the total salt, pepper and onion powder mixture. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour over the potatoes. Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter into squares and dot them over the potatoes.
  • Slice another pound of potatoes as before and blot them dry. Arrange them in a new layer in the pan, stacking as needed. Sprinkle on half of the remaining salt, pepper, onion powder. Sprinkle on 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour, reserving an even tablespoon of flour for the top layer. Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter and dot the butter over the potatoes.
  • Slice your final pound of potatoes as previously and blot them dry. Arrange the potatoes in an even layer, stacking as needed. Sprinkle on the remaining salt, pepper, onion powder. Evenly sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of flour (avoid having clumps of flour on the top layer, or you'll have raw flour on top after baking.) Cut up 2 tablespoons of butter and dot the pieces over the potatoes.
  • Pour the milk over the potatoes to fill the bottom of the pan and barely cover the potatoes.
  • Bake uncovered for 70-80 minutes. The potatoes are done when the entire surface is golden brown and crispy. The edges of the pan will have dark brown crust. (Watch the potatoes carefully starting at the 65-minute mark, since oven times vary.)
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to five days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
2 cups heavy cream
15 fresh sage leaves
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandolin (or ask GZ to help)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup grated manchego cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with the butter; set aside.
  • In a saucepot on medium heat, add the heavy cream, sage, garlic and a pinch of salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the cream becomes fragrant with the scent of sage, about 10 minutes.
  • Layer the potatoes in the prepared dish. Add each slice by overlapping the previous slice by a bit and continue this pattern in a row or create a spiral. Once the first layer is done, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper. Repeat the next layers by doing the same. Once the layers are complete, strain out the sage leaves and garlic from the heavy cream and pour the cream over the dish. Allow the cream to settle into the dish, picking it up a little bit off the counter, then dropping it to tap the air out. Then, sprinkle with the cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes; remove the cover and bake until the cheese is golden, about 15 more minutes.

MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATOES

I only get to enjoy these potatoes two times a year, Christmas and Thanksgiving. I am 2 1/2 months pregnant and have been craving them lately. I think anyone who loves comfort classics will enjoy this recipe as it goes great with anything especially prime rib, turkey, or ham. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large red potatoes (thinly sliced, I use a mandolin slicer)
1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced, I use a mandolin slicer)
4 cups cheddar cheese (sometimes I use both cheddar and gruyere)
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Coat a large glass baking dish (the size of a lasagna pan) in butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom, cream of chicken soup and milk and whisk to combine.
  • Start layering the soup mix, potatoes, onions and cheese ending in cheese (make sure the top layer is double the cheese as the layers of cheese in between).
  • Dot the top of the potatoes with butter and cover the pan with foil.
  • Bake the potatoes covered for an hour and a half or until somewhat fork tender. Take the cover off and cook them for an additional 30 minutes.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lb potatoes
6 green onions (optional)
1 clove fresh garlic
1 pint sour cream (light or regular - both are great)

1/2 cup milk (skim or regular)
2 Tbsp Cajun spice
Salt and pepper as need or optional
4 cup cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Scrub and boil potatoes skin on cook enough until fork can piece through without difficulty about 30 minutes. You do not want your potatoes over cooked where they are too soft to work with.
  • Cool potatoes to where you can work with them. Slice into bowl. Wash and chop green onions, smash fresh garlic.
  • Add all of the above ingredients except 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Fold enough to mix, not too much or potatoes can looked mashed.
  • Bake in 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes. Take out and add the 1 cup cheese to the top and put back into the oven until it melted. Present with chives on top and parsley.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch. This will help them to not stick together.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the potatoes. This will help to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Layer the potatoes, onion, and cheese in the pot in even layers. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Pour the sauce over the potatoes and make sure that they are evenly coated.
  • Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Let the potatoes cool for 10 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect scalloped potatoes that will be a hit at your next gathering.
