SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH HEAVY CREAM AND CHEESE



Scalloped Potatoes With Heavy Cream and Cheese image

Julia Child Rules!!! "Gratin Jurassien" Named for the Juras region in Switzerland. A mainly Francophone region in the Jura mountains that border France. Use more cheese if you want to, it won't hurt, especially on the top of the casserole. This is filling and rich and goes wonderfully with beef, pork, lamb, pretty much anything. It also freezes and reheats nicely. You can also saute pearl onions in butter and put them in amongst the potatoes and cheese. An afterthought: try to get waxy potatoes, like reds or golds, to make sure that the slices don't turn to mush when absorbing the cream. (and that should be emmenthal cheese, but I can't get it to correct. Sorry.)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, and red potatoes all work well for scalloped potatoes. The combination of their different textures and flavors creates a more complex and satisfying dish.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The potatoes need room to cook and absorb the cream sauce. If the dish is too crowded, the potatoes will steam instead of bake and won't get crispy on top.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good choices. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender and the top is golden brown: This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. You can check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a knife into the center. If the knife goes in easily, the potatoes are done.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a scalloped potato recipe that everyone will love.
