Scalloped Potatoes Gratin is a classic dish that brings warmth and comfort to any table. This creamy, cheesy delight is made with thinly sliced potatoes, heavy cream, and a touch of garlic, topped with golden, melted cheddar cheese.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) and place in cold water.
