Ingredients

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
4 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 to 3 1/4 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
8 ounces Swiss cheese, grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with the butter and set aside.

Place the cream in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper, and stir well. Add the potatoes, adding more cream if necessary to completely cover the potatoes. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are barely fork tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat.

With a large spoon, transfer 1/3 of the potatoes with some of the cream to the prepared dish, forming an even layer on the bottom. Top with 1/3 of the cheese, and continue layering the potatoes and cheese, ending with cheese on top. Place on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Deliciously cheesy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I also added some freshly grated parmassan cheese and cheddar. It turned out delicious. I think the parmessan gives it an... extra kick. It was very easy to make. Read more

Best Scalloped Potatoes I've Had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these this past weekend for a family dinner and they turned out great. Peeling potatoes was the hardest part (used a... mandolin to slice them). Based on other reviews, I decided I should add something for more flavor. Since we were having a rib roast, I added 1/4 cup prepared horseradish to kick it up a notch and it worked. I will definitely make this again.Read more

Not What I Thought
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

After reading the reviews, I thought I was going to get more excitement out of the dish than regular scalloped potatoes. I... agree with "Peggy," the dish lacks flavor. I like the cooking method and will add more spice to the cream and possibly a little flour or potato starch to thicken up the sauce next time (maybe) I make it. But I wouldn't serve this dish for the first time to other before you try it yourself. -There are better scalloped potato recipes out there.Read more
