How to Make Asiago And Sage Scalloped Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  10. Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.

  12. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
