Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for brushing
1/2 clove garlic
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 fresh bay leaves
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Generously brush a large skillet with butter, then rub with the garlic. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the potatoes, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste, then arrange the remaining potatoes on top. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Pour the broth and milk over the potatoes, then add the nutmeg and bay leaves; simmer 3 minutes.
  • Generously brush a shallow baking dish with butter and slide the potatoes into the dish; arrange with a fork, if desired. (If your skillet is ovenproof, you can skip this step and bake the potatoes right in the skillet.)
  • Dot the potatoes with the cut-up butter and sprinkle with the gruyere. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Discard the bay leaves.

SIMPLE SCALLOPED POTATOES

My mother asked me to bring scalloped to Thanksgiving dinner. This is my usual recipe. It's really easy to make. When I first started making it DD asked me to add chopped broccoli to it next time. When she's home I do just that. It adds a nice bit of colour and flavour to this dish. If you use your food processor to slice the potatoes and chop the onions, preparation is a breeze.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups milk, hot
1 cup part-skim cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Spray a 13"x9" baking dish with nonstick coating.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes over the bottom of the dish, sprinkle with 1/2 of the onion and top with 1/2 of the flour.
  • Repeat the layers then arrange the remaining potatoes over the top.
  • Pour the hot milk over everything and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour at 350F or until the potatoes are tender.

Tips:

- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture. - Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the baking dish; leave space for the potatoes to steam. - Use a combination of milk and cream for a richer flavor. - Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. - Top the potatoes with cheese for a golden brown crust. - Bake the potatoes until they are tender and the sauce is bubbling. - Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving so the sauce can thicken.
