Description
Cheesy Garlic Scalloped Potatoes are a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheeses, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer for an extra cheesy crust.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the scalloped potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add more garlic or herbs of your choice.
- Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
