Scalloped Potatoes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 garlic clove
3 lb gold potatoes
1 cups whole milk
1 cups heavy cream
1 tsp coarse salt
½ tsp ground pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Smash and peel garlic and scrub, peel, and thinly slice potatoes.
Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish and rub with garlic.
Layer potatoes in the dish, overlapping slightly.
In a small bowl, combine milk, cream, salt, and pepper.
Pour cream mixture over potatoes and dot with butter; cover with foil.
Bake for 30 min.
Uncover and bake until the top is golden in spots, 30 to 40 min. Let rest for 20 min before serving.
Notes
Don't rinse the starch off; it will help to thicken the sauce. Assemble the scalloped potatoes up to 6 hours in advance and refrigerate, covered with foil. Allow potatoes to come to room temperature before baking.
