Scalloped Potatoes

The Wisconsin Cheeseman - Delicious Food Gifts

This easy recipe for scalloped potatoes is fantastic. I add caramelized onions and garlic in the middle and top with shredded Gouda cheese. This is wonderful. Full of flavor, cheesy and creamy all at the same time.

They are a variety of ways to make scalloped potatoes. They can be made with or without cheese but what I like about this one; the caramelized onions and garlic really add character, as does the cheese.

I especially like to serve this with pork tenderloin or pork chops, they just seem to complement each other nicely.

Take this to your next pot luck dinner; a crowd pleaser.

Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized
onions & garlic, Topped with Gouda.

4 pounds Yukon gold Potatoes, peeled & thinly sliced
2 sweet onions thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp each: dried basil, oregano & thyme
2 tbs Olive Oil
2 Cups fat free Half & Half
1 Cup Skim Milk
1 Cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Cups Shredded Gouda Cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

In saute pan add olive oil, turn to medium heat.
Add onions, saute 8 minutes stir a few times.
Add garlic, cook 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from heat.

Preheat oven 450 degrees. Lightly grease a
13 x 9 glass dish. In a sauce pan add half & half
with the milk, simmer on low. When mixture
is warm stir in parmesan cheese. This acts
as a thicken agent. Add basil, oregano, thyme,
salt & pepper, mix well.

Place half of the potatoes in baking dish.
Spread the caramelized onions/garlic on top
of potatoes. Top with remaining potatoes. Carefully
pour milk mixture over potatoes. Cover with foil,
place in oven for 45 minutes.

Remove foil and top with Cheese. Return to
oven, cook uncovered for 20 minutes or
until cheese is starting to turn a light brown.

Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note: I like to use mild cheeses they
don't compete with the onions and garlic.
Try Gruyere, a mild & slightly sharp cheese
or Havarti, a mild & mellow cheese. ENJOY!
