French Scalloped Potatoes

Zola on

Ingredients:

3 Tbl of butter
1 cup of finely chopped leeks, shallots, or Vidalia onion
2 tsp of garlic powder
2 tsp of fresh thyme, minced
2 cups of heavy cream
1/2 tsp of grated sea salt
1/2 tsp of grated pepper
4 cups of sliced potatoes. I use my mandolin to slice them thinly.
1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray your nine-by-nine-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.

In a medium saucepan add the butter and heat on medium-high. When butter is melted add the leeks, garlic powder, and thyme. Cook for two minutes.

 

Stir in the cream and add the salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil and lower the heat to simmer until the mixture starts to thicken. Stir often and don’t let it boil over. This will take about five minutes.

Add the Gruyere and stir until it melts in. Add the potatoes and stir again. You might need to do this in a bowl, depending on how big your saucepan is.

Spread the potatoes in the baking dish. Bake for about an hour or until potatoes are done and lightly browned on top. I check mine with a sharp knife to make sure they are cooked through.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
