Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 pounds Yellow Finn potatoes or other waxy-style potato
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch nutmeg
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic around the inside of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch casserole dish and let it dry. Reserve the remaining garlic. Rub the butter around the inside of the dish. Reserve the remaining butter.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick slices).
In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic, butter, potatoes, half-and-half, salt, pepper to taste, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Shake the pan so the potatoes are distributed evenly.
Bake the potatoes, basting occasionally, until lightly browned and bubbly, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Had to enter a rating to post even though I am waiting for it to finish cooking. 5 stars for simplicity. But, recipe says to baste. What do I baste it with?

I love, love, love this recipe! It is by far the easiest scalloped potato recipe I've come across. I love that the potatoes are cooked in the milk/cream mixture. I think it infuses the potatoes with an extra creaminess, saves one step in what can be a laborious process, and has less clean-up. This recipe is so easy that I can prepare it on a weeknight after work and still eat at a reasonable hour. Thank you Food Network!

I'm not sure what I did wrong??? I followed the recipe but added a little onion. They taste good but don't look very appealing. The milk mixture separated to where it almost looks clabbered. Oh, I used low fat half and half, could that be culprit?
