COOK'S ILLUSTRATED SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, melt butter in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming subsides, about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until it turns soft and begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream, milk, thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and potatoes and bring to simmer. Cover, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain light simmer, and cook until potatoes are almost tender (paring knife can be slipped into and out of center of potato slice with some resistance), about 15 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Transfer potato mixture to 3-quart gratin dish and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cream has thickened and is bubbling around sides and top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Tips: For the fastest and most consistent results, slice the potatoes in a food processor. When the potatoes were cut thicker than 1/8 inch, they slid apart when served. Yet when cut much thinner, the layers melted together, producing a mashed potato-like texture. At exactly 1/8 inch, the potatoes held their shape yet remained flexible enough to form tight, cohesive layers. Although it is possible to cut 1/8-inch slices by hand, it is far easier when using a food processor or mandoline.

[email protected]This recipe is a bit bland. The potatoes were cooked through, but they were a bit dry. The cheese sauce was also a bit thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The potatoes took forever to cook, and the cheese sauce was too thick and gloopy. I think I'll stick to my old scalloped potato recipe.
