Classic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
Creamy and delicious scalloped potatoes baked with Parmesan cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 cups whipping cream
- ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes. Layer the sliced potatoes in a 13- x 9-inch or 3-qt. baking dish.
- Make the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, stir together the whipping cream, chopped parsley, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Potatoes: Pour the cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes in the baking dish.
- Bake the Potatoes: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are bubbly and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them stand on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are thinly and evenly sliced for uniform cooking.
- You can adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream or a combination of cream and milk.
