SCALLOPED POTATOES

SCALLOPED POTATOES


Serves 14 to 20


3 pounds yellow potatoes, peeled, and sliced paper thin

1 clove garlic

3 cups milk

5 ounces Gruyère cheese

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup heavy cream


1. Heat oven to 325°. In a large saucepan, combine sliced potatoes and milk, and place over high

heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; cover, and simmer until potatoes just begin to get

tender, about 3 minutes.


2. Meanwhile, grate cheese and set aside. Place a colander over a large bowl, and drain potatoes,

reserving milk. (You should have 2 cups of thick, starchy milk. If potatoes have absorbed more

than 1 cup of milk, you must add enough milk to bring the reserved milk volume to 2 cups.)


3. Rub a 3 1/2-quart oval casserole with garlic and butter. Arrange sliced potatoes in the casserole

in two layers, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Dot with remaining butter and pour in the

reserved cooking milk and cream. Scatter grated cheese over the top.


4. Place casserole in the lower third of the oven, and bake until the cheese has turned deep

golden brown and the milk has reduced and thickened, 80 to 90 minutes. Remove from oven, and

serve immediately.
