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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic toward the end.
- 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.
- Pour heavy cream evenly over the top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil in the last 15 minutes to brown the top.
- 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.
