Scalloped Potatoes image

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.

THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES



The Best Scalloped Potatoes image

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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup shredded Gruyere (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)

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.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES



Extra-Creamy Scalloped Potatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Unsalted butter, softened, for the baking dish
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
3 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Put the potatoes in a large pot. Whisk the cream, flour, bay leaf, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a bowl, then pour over the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, carefully stirring occasionally, until the cream just comes to a simmer, about 12 minutes. Continue to simmer, adjusting the heat if necessary and stirring to prevent the bottom from scorching, until the potatoes just begin to soften, about 5 more minutes.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish; discard the bay leaf. Set the baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Potato     Side     Casserole/Gratin     Cheddar     Winter     Gourmet     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups thinly sliced onion
9 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated sharp Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a skillet, cook the onion and 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is very soft. In a heavy saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the remaining butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the onions with one third of the Cheddar and continue to layer the remaining sauce, potatoes, onions, and Cheddar in the same manner. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs, and dot it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits.
  • Bake the mixture, covered with foil, in the middle of preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake the potato mixture for 35 minutes more, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
