How to Make Baked Scalloped Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 20x10x2 inch deep baking dish, pour in 2 cups of heavy cream.
  3. Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Using a mandoline or food processor, thinly slice 3 pounds of russet potatoes.
  5. Layer the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, ensuring they are tightly packed and the cream is absorbed between the layers.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 120 minutes (2 hours).
  8. Remove the foil and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  9. Let cool slightly before cutting into 20 squares and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
