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.

I was an audience member who got to taste it!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Disclaimer: I did not cook the potato recipe....Emeril did!!! I was fortunate to be in the audience at one of the tasting... tables and got to sample the entire meal. The beef was so very tender, the peas delicious, and the scalloped potatoes were to die for. I didn't want to share it with anyone else but since my family was with me, it only seemed like the right thing to do...lol.....I am going to make it for a party next week and can't wait. Thinking about topping it with panko bread crumbs...yummy. Will let you know how it turns out after I make it. EnjoyRead more

Yum
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I chose this recipe for the cooking method which is super easy. I added fresh garlic & cayenne to mine. For those who aren't... happy with the flavor you can pretty much add whatever you want to it, play around with it! Try different cheeses, add garlic, cayenne, onion, bacon, ham, cooked shredded chicken etc..whatever sounds good to you. Read more

Very easy recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I only cook for 2 so I halved the recipe and used 1 cup cream and 1 cup 2% milk. I thought it was a bit rich so I can't... imagine what it would be like with all cream. In the future I will increase the amount of seasoning used (never did figure out when to add the rest of the salt). Other than that it was the simplest scalloped potato recipe I've done ane one of the tastiest. Made it with Big Daddy's Blackened Tilapia and Patti Labelle's Fierce Fried Corn and everything was oh so good!Read more
