Steps:
- Using a mandolin, slice the red potatoes to about 3 millimeter-thick slices.
- Slice the gold potatoes to about 5-6 millimeters thick.
- In a large bowl, combine the red potatoes with the salt, pepper, and heavy cream, and stir until evenly coated.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Butter an oven-safe, 8 or 9-inch (20 or 23-cm), stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Starting from the center, lay the red potatoes in an overlapping, circular fashion, making sure they make good contact and are sticking to the bowl. Repeat the circular pattern up until roughly ½-inch (1-cm) from the top of the bowl.
- Place the sliced gold potatoes into the cream, stirring until fully coated with cream.
- Shake off the excess cream, then layer the potato slices at the bottom of the bowl, building in a similar circular fashion.
- After 2-3 rotations, place down 2 slices of cheddar. To fill the gaps, you might need to cut 2 more slices into halves and use those strips near the edges.
- Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
- Place the strips of bacon in a single layer across the potatoes.
- Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
- Sprinkle the chives in an even layer across the potatoes.
- Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
- Fan out the rest of the cheddar slices in a circular pattern on top of the potatoes.
- Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
- Place the circle of puff pastry on top, pressing it lightly into the potatoes.
- Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If the pastry or the edges of potatoes near the top are starting to get too dark, cover the dish with foil and continue baking.
- Cool until the bottom of the dish is no longer warm.
- While the potatoes bake, prepare the garlic cream sauce by transferring the cream from the soaked potatoes into a medium saucepan or pot.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and Parmesan, stirring while bringing to a boil. Set aside and reheat when serving.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Run a knife along the sides of the bowl to make sure the potatoes are release, then invert it onto a baking tray.
- Bake for another 10 minutes or so, until the slices start to turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Transfer the dome to a cutting board, then slice into wedges.
- Serve with the cream sauce, a sprinkle of chives.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a saucepan combine the scallops with enough salted water to cover them completely, bring the water to a simmer, and poach the scallops for 5 minutes. Drain the scallops well and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the Gruyére, the mustard, the lemon juice, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, add the scallops, and toss the mixture well. In a small bowl beat the egg white until it just holds stiff peaks and fold it into the scallop mixture gently but thoroughly. Top each bread square with a heaping teaspoon of the scallop mixture, arrange the puffs about 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbling and lightly golden (do not allow the edges of the toasts to burn).

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality scallops. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your scallop puffs.
- Make sure the scallops are dry before cooking. If they are wet, they will not brown properly.
- Do not overcook the scallops. They should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center.
- Be careful not to overfill the muffin tins. The scallop puffs will rise as they bake, so leave enough room for them to expand.
- Serve the scallop puffs immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Scallop puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual get-together. With a few simple tips, you can make scallop puffs that are sure to impress your guests.
