Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are made from thinly sliced russet potatoes baked in heavy cream with Parmesan cheese, garlic, nutmeg, and seasoning. An optional layer of sharp cheddar cheese adds richness and a golden crust. The potatoes become tender and creamy while the top turns slightly browned, delivering a smooth, cheesy texture perfect for comforting side dishes or hearty meals.

Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds russet potato peeled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese optional, shredded sharp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch or 2-quart baking dish.
- Thinly slice 3-4 pounds russet potatoes (peeled) using a mandoline, sharp knife, or food processor. Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream over the potatoes. Add 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat the potato slices evenly with the cream and seasonings.
- Arrange the potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top (optional).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Test for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of the potatoes; they should be soft. Serve hot.

Notes
- Baking time varies depending on the thickness of potato slices; thinner slices take less time, thicker slices more.
- Check doneness by testing with a fork to ensure potatoes are tender throughout.
