How to Make Scalloped Potatoes With Garlic And Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice about 3 pounds of russet potatoes. (Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick).
  3. Do not soak the sliced potatoes in water; the surface starch is crucial for thickening.
  4. In a 6-quart oven-safe casserole dish, layer half of the potatoes.
  5. Scatter 6-8 cloves of minced garlic evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Pour 2 cups of heavy cream over the potatoes and garlic.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Layer the remaining potatoes on top.
  9. Pour any remaining cream over the top layer.
  10. Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or foil.
  11. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  12. Let the casserole stand for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to set. Serve warm or cold the next day with a fresh green salad.
