Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 1 to 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Once the butter foams, add the shallot and garlic and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the half-and-half, smoked paprika and potatoes. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour half of the potato mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Shake the pan to arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle half of each of the cheeses on top of the bottom potato layer. Add the remaining potatoes and shake again to arrange in a layer. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese, cover with foil and bake 45 minutes, or until bubbling. Remove the foil and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and cheese are golden and browned. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Very good! I substitute milk if I don't have half-n-half on hand and it's still good! Add some ham and it's an easy weeknight dinner!

I made this for Thanksgiving to go with a Honey Glazed spiral cut ham, and it was a huge hit. I had never used smokey paprika before and now that I have it in my pantry, I can't wait to find other things to use it in.

Easy and very good! Lots of good flavor and nice and saucy not dry. I used just regular cheddar cheese bc that's what I had. I also used a mandoline (sp to slice the potatoes - it would not have been as fast and easy slicing them by hand. I like the other reviewers idea of adding the bacon - I think I'll try that next time. My picky kids even liked them.
