Rachael Ray's Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
"This recipe comes from Rachael Ray's "Everyday" magazine. This was in the December 2008 holiday edition. I used this recipe on Christmas day and it makes by far the best scalloped potatoes I've ever had. I will be doubling the recipe in 2009.
The Gruyere cheese takes this recipe over the top! However, it is a bit on the pricey side."
- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:

- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- salt
- 3 lbs baking potatoes, preferably Idaho, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 3 ounces gruyere cheese, coarsely grated (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
directions
- Place a rack in the top half of the oven and preheat to 375°. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water with the milk, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer half the potatoes to a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish; arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with half the cheese and the cayenne; season with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top. Bake the scalloped potatoes until golden and crisp on top, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

<p>I'm a 20 something and happily married to my best friend. I'm a full-time paralegal, I have two kids, two boxers, and I'm a homeowner who spends at least 3 hours a day in the car on my daily commute. <br /> <br />If there's one thing thing I've learned over the last few years it's: If it's not one thing, it's another. <br /> <br />I utilize recipezaar to save time and find recipes that are tried and true. There's nothing worse than getting a recipe out of a recipe book, spending substantial time cooking, and then the recipe comes out just ok, or plain poor. That's where recipezaar comes in to place for me. <br /> <br />I'm a vegetarian, my husband is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, my son will eat anything, and my daughter is as picky as can be. Unfortunately, she isn't that picky eater that just likes 6 or 7 things. She loves one thing one day, and doesn't want anything to do with it the next. <br /> <br />Thankfully, the one thing we can all agree on is dessert. =)</p>
