Description

A creamy, cheesy dish of scalloped potatoes that will elevate your dinner table with its rich flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced thinly
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic toward the end.
  4. In a greased baking dish, layer potatoes, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper, and thyme. Add sautéed onions and cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used up, finishing with cheese on top.
  5. Pour heavy cream evenly over the top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil in the last 15 minutes to brown the top.
  7. Once golden and bubbly, let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute with half-and-half or whole milk. If you can’t find heavy cream, a mixture of milk and melted butter works as a substitute.
