Creamy Scalloped Potato Casserole Recipes

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub the bottom and sides of a 3-quart baking dish with garlic; reserve garlic. Brush pan generously with butter. Peel potatoes, then cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
• Transfer potatoes and garlic to a large pot with cream, milk, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon one-third of potato mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle with one-third of cheese. Repeat layering twice more. Loosely cover dish with parchment-lined foil.
• Bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove foil; turn oven to broil. Broil until potatoes are bubbly and browned in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

EXTRA-CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES

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.

CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a medium casserole dish.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Slice potatoes, and mix with bacon bits, and chopped onion in a large bowl. In a small bowl mix the flour, parsley flakes, salt, thyme, and pepper. In a saucepan on low, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter and stir in the flour mixture until smooth. Gradually add in the milk, stir continually, and just bring to a boil, then turn burner off.
• Place 1/2 of the potatoes in a 13x9 pan or larger oven safe bowl, and sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozerella cheese over the potatoes. Add the remaining potatoes on top, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozerella cheese. Pour the mixture from the saucepan over the dish of potatoes, and cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into small pieces and place them on top of the potatoes. I usually add a few sprinkles of bacon and parsley on top to make it look pretty. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 60-75 minutes depending on your oven.
