Cheesy Garlic Scalloped Potatoes
"They are rich, but oh so good! You can vary the cheeses according to taste and add onions, too. I originally got the recipe from AllRecipes, but I have altered a couple of things that helped the recipe we believe. It is a family favorite!"

- Ready In:
- 1hr 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced (I use my KitchenAid slicer attachment to make thin. SaladShooter or mandolin works well, too, as lon)
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 pint heavy cream (or to make it lighter I have made with 2 cups milk and 2 T. cornstarch heated until thicker)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese, grated
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Grease a 1 1/2 quart or larger casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Dot with half of the butter cut or pinched into small pieces.
- Arrange half of the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour half of the heavy cream over.
- Sprinkle one cup of Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes, butter, garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with the slices of provolone cheese.
- Season again with salt and pepper. Cover with foil that the underside has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, then sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top.
- This will create a semi-hard cheese crust. Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when tested with a fork.

I made this on Christmas eve. My son is a very picky eater and he loved it. So did my husband. Very yummy! -
Followed the recipe exactly and it was so good. The only thing I would do different next time is use a little less butter, there was a bit too much sitting on top of the dish when I took it out of the oven; after removing excess it was perfect. Thanks for sharing! -
Delicious. Big hit at our home. Didn't change a thing and it turned out perfectly. Thank you !!

OHHHHHHH my goodness, these potatoes are FANTASTIC!!!!!! Was looking for a scalloped potatoes recipe to go with my Pork Roast. These were over the top. My DH and I agreed that this might kill us but we would die happy :) Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. Didn't have any any heavy cream so got on the internet and found that 3/4 cup milk plus 1/3 cup melted butter equaled 1 cup heavy cream. Because of the butter in the heavy cream I left out step #4. This recipe is a real keeper. -
These went so great with one of my new favorite dishes, Recipe #246229. I loved the creaminess and wonderful flavors of the cheese and garlic! I used the Parmesan cheese this time. These will be enjoyed again! Thanks for sharing it!

Rich,creamy,cheesy and completely decadent...oh yes,and absolutely gorgeous!You can't go wrong with this combination of flavours and ingredients..it's fantastic. I left the skin on my potato (why waste goodness) and sliced very thinly by hand.I subbed mozzarella for Provolone,as I can't get hold of it,and used romano for the topping..I cooked mine for about 15 minutes longer than stated,and it was perfect.The crust was beautifully crisp,giving way to creamy,garlicky,soft potato. Definately not for those watching their waistlines-a real treat! Thanks Sweetslady for a real winner! -
I have tried many scalloped potatoes recipes. This has been the best. I think the garlic and the parmesan cheese are the key ingredients. I only had fat free 1/2 and 1/2 on hand. I only added some chopped onions b/c I needed to use it up. I used mozzarella cheese instead of provolone only b/c I did not have that either. I would highly recommend slicing your potatoes thin. I did it by hand just to makes sure I did not have to bake longer. The hour and a 1/2 is perfect if you slice your potatoes thin. I think you could play with this recipe by cooking the garlic, adding onions, different kinds of cheese, etc....I will go back to this recipe in the future for scalloped potatoes. Try it, you will like it.Thx for the recipe:)
