Scalloped Potatoes
Cultural Context
Scalloped potatoes, a classic American comfort food, originated in the 19th century and became popular for its creamy texture and rich flavor. Often served at family gatherings and holiday meals, this dish showcases the humble potato elevated with cream and cheese. Today, variations abound, with some incorporating different cheeses or adding vegetables, making it a versatile favorite across the globe.
heavy cream
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch
Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess
cheddar cheese
🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese
💰Cheaper: processed cheese
Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.
butter
🥗Healthier: olive oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Olive oil provides healthy fats and is often more affordable.
potatoes
🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes
💰Cheaper: white potatoes
Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor, while white potatoes are cost-effective.
Start by making the creamy bechamel sauce on medium heat.
Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a heated pot and swirl to prevent burning.
Once melted, add 4 cloves of finely diced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk to combine with the butter and garlic, cooking until slightly nutty but not burnt.
Gradually add 2 1/4 cups of milk while whisking, ensuring a smooth mixture.
Add 1 cup of heavy cream for richness, whisking until combined and smooth.
Cook the sauce while whisking until it thickens, then lower the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of finely diced chives, then set aside.
Slice 5 large yellow flesh potatoes into thin slices using a mandolin for even thickness.
Prepare a 9 by 13 inch baking dish by adding a thin layer of the bechamel sauce at the bottom.
Layer the sliced potatoes in the dish, overlapping them.
Top the potatoes with another layer of bechamel sauce and sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top.
Continue layering with potatoes, bechamel sauce, and cheese until all ingredients are used, leaving some potatoes uncovered for crispiness.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C).
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Finish with a sprinkle of finely chopped chives before serving.
Let cool slightly before tasting.
