Holiday sides: Heavenly scalloped potatoes
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home
I know that for some families it's sacrilege to forego mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. If you feel strongly about those mashed potatoes, file these lovelies away in your Christmas or Hanukkah recipe box. (These scalloped potatoes are killer with a beef tenderloin on Christmas!)
But if you're looking for something different and drop dead delicious, I've got just the thing. These potatoes are so much more than the sum of their humble parts. Heavy cream, garlic, potatoes and cheese should not be this addicting. Something about the creaminess of the potatoes underneath and the crunchy, cheesy broiled topping on the top is heavenly.
Whether you make for Thanksgiving, Christmas/Hanukkah or BOTH -- these might be one of the best things you make all year. Looking for more Sweets and Eats for the Whole Family" Find Lindsay at Sugar Mama.
Heavenly Scalloped Potatoes
You can also do these in 6-8 individual ramekins. Bake time is more like 25 min. for those.
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
butter
2-3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
salt and pepper
1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated (plus more for broiling)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a saucepan, heat the cream, thyme (whole sprig), garlic and nutmeg.
While cream is heating, butter a 9x9 casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper...
