Simple Scalloped Potatoes

Cultural Context

Scalloped potatoes have roots in 18th-century French cuisine, where they were known as 'gratin dauphinois.' This comforting dish has become a staple in American households, often served at family gatherings and holiday meals. Its creamy texture and cheesy flavor make it a beloved side dish that pairs well with various meats. Today, variations abound, with some adding ingredients like ham or different types of cheese, but the classic version remains a favorite.

Welcome to the college cooking show, we're making scalloped potatoes.

Peel the potatoes and if worried about oxidation, place them in ice water or toss in clarified butter.

Shred your own cheese for better quality and taste.

Slice the potatoes into even slices, about a quarter inch thick.

5

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a sauté pan, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter.

7

Layer the sliced potatoes in a spiral pattern in the pan, seasoning each layer with salt and black pepper.

Add a little heavy cream to the first layer of potatoes.

9

Repeat the layering process with more potatoes, seasoning, and cream.

Finish with any leftover cheese on top, including parmesan cheese.

Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to achieve a golden brown top.

For the last 5 minutes, turn on the broiler to low to get everything nice and golden and bubbling.
