Scalloped Potatoes without Cheese
Description
This scalloped potato recipe layers thinly sliced russet potatoes baked in a sauce made by simmering heavy cream with butter, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The garlic is cooked in butter to soften its pungency before adding the cream and seasonings. The potatoes then absorb the creamy sauce during a covered bake, which helps cook them through without drying out.
After initial covered baking, removing the foil allows the top to brown and develop slight crispness. Resting the dish after baking lets the sauce thicken slightly and the slices settle, making serving easier. The end result is a rich, creamy side with tender potato slices and a mellow garlic flavor.
This version omits cheese, offering a lighter alternative to traditional scalloped potatoes but still providing a smooth and flavorful texture from cream and butter. It pairs well with roasted meats, poultry, or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter divided use
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 pounds russet potato peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a deep-dish pie plate or 2-quart casserole dish.
- Place the remaining butter and the garlic in a wide saucepan over medium heat and cook until the garlic becomes translucent. Add the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the potatoes to the casserole dish and pour the cream over the potatoes.
- Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake until the top is golden. Remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
