Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups thinly sliced potatoes (I like to leave the skin on after washing well)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 medium onion (grated)
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup grated cheese
paprika (smoked is amazing!)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 °F. Grease a 2 quart casserole dish with butter and set aside.
  • In a medium sized sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add in the grated onions and cook until tender and soft.
  • Add in the flour and stir until mixed throughout the butter. Stir for another minute, then whisk in the milk slowly, stirring with the whisk to ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Season with the salt to your own taste (start at 1/2 tsp).
  • Cook the sauce on low until smooth and thick, stirring occasionally with the whisk to ensure that the mixture doesn't burn on the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in the cheese, whisking until it is smooth.
  • Place half of the sliced potatoes in the casserole dish.
  • Pour half of the cheese sauce over the first layer of sliced potatoes. Repeat with the second layer of potatoes and cheese sauce.
  • Bake covered in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Take off the lid and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and paprika if wanted.
  • Bake uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked.

THE BEST CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES



The Best Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes image

What makes this the best out of all the scalloped potatoes recipes out there? I slice them extra thin and toss them in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Then, to make them the best ever, I sprinkle homemade bread crumbs on top-they get nice and crispy in the oven. Make room for these at all your family get-togethers. -Aria Thornton, Taste of Home Prep Cook

THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES



The Best Scalloped Potatoes image

Creamy, cheesy and perfectly indulgent, scalloped potatoes are a classic for good reason. While cooking, the starch from the potatoes thickens the cream into a luscious sauce while the cheesy topping becomes golden and nutty in the oven. Allowing the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving makes it easier to slice.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup shredded Gruyere (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  • Add the sliced potatoes, heavy cream, whole milk, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and almost cooked through but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. (They should not be soft and falling apart.) Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Add the Gruyere and Parmesan, stirring gently to combine. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Unsalted butter, softened, for the baking dish
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
3 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Put the potatoes in a large pot. Whisk the cream, flour, bay leaf, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a bowl, then pour over the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, carefully stirring occasionally, until the cream just comes to a simmer, about 12 minutes. Continue to simmer, adjusting the heat if necessary and stirring to prevent the bottom from scorching, until the potatoes just begin to soften, about 5 more minutes.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish; discard the bay leaf. Set the baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
