SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH CREME FRAICHE image

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon gold or Yellow Finn), peeled
3 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup creme fraeche
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rub the garlic all over the inside of a 3-quart baking dish, then mince it. Grease the dish with about 1/2 tablespoon butter. Slice the potatoes about 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well). Combine in a large saucepan with the minced garlic, the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, the half-and-half, creme fraeche, flour, thyme, mace, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chives and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, shaking it to distribute the potatoes evenly. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour 5 minutes, occasionally spooning some of the liquid over the top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. You can also make the scalloped potatoes in individual ramekins; bake about 40 minutes

I'm not a big fan of scalloped potatoes, but this recipe changed my mind. The creme fraiche added a richness and creaminess that I loved. The potatoes were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great. I used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russet potatoes and I added a bit of garlic powder to the sauce. The potatoes were creamy and flavorful and the sauce was rich and cheesy. I will defin
