Ingredients for Autumn Two Potato Scallop

  • Butter
  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • Small Red Potatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Ground Red Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Autumn Two Potato Scallop

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter a 13 x 9 x 2 inch glass baking dish.
  3. Thinly slice 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes and 1.5 lbs red potatoes. Arrange in alternating layers in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Aim for approximately 3 layers of each.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  5. Bring the cream mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  6. Carefully pour the cream mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish, ensuring all potato slices are coated.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes. Gently press down on the potatoes with a spatula to submerge them in the sauce.
  8. Spoon any remaining cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  9. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

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.
