An easy scalloped potatoes recipe featuring thinly sliced potatoes in a creamy, cheesy sauce, baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyère)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in the prepared dish. Pour half of the cream-cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  5. Add the remaining potato slices in a second layer. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the top.
  6. Scatter the remaining cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  7. Bake covered for 45 minutes to help the potatoes cook through.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let the dish rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes. For a nuttier flavor, replace some of the cheddar with Gruyère.
