Scalloped potatoes are a traditional dish, utilizing thinly sliced potatoes layered in a casserole or iron skillet and covered with a cheesy sauce and baked.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• unsalted butter, room temperature for casserole

• 8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 2 cups whole milk

• 1 Tbsp lightly packed fresh thyme leaves

• Kosher sea salt, to taste

• Black Pepper, freshly ground, to taste

• 1/8 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated

• 2 1/4 cups Gruyere cheese, grated

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.

2. Rub the bottom and sides of the casserole with garlic (reserve garlic)

3. Grease the casserole generously with butter.

4. Peel potatoes, then slice thinly (1/8-inch) slices

5. Transfer potatoes and reserved garlic to a Dutch oven with cream, milk, thyme, 1 Tbsp kosher sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high-heat. Reduce to medium-heat and simmer (1 min). Let cool (10 mins).

6. Spoon 1/3 of the potato mixture into the prepared casserole. Sprinkle 1/3 of grated Gruyere cheese. Repeat layering two more times. Loosely cover the dish with lightly greased aluminum foil.

7. Bake until the potatoes are tender (35 - 40 mins) or until the tip of your knife easily pierces the potatoes.

8. Remove the foil and turn the oven to broil. Broil until the potatoes are bubbly and browning in places (3 - 5 mins).

9. Let the casserole cool before serving (15 mins)
