A comforting and cheesy scalloped potatoes recipe featuring thinly sliced potatoes baked in a creamy Gruyere cheese sauce. Perfect for cozy dinners and easy to prepare in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces (225g) Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter your baking dish thoroughly.
  2. Rinse and peel the potatoes. Slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, softened butter, minced garlic, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk gently until blended.
  4. Arrange half the sliced potatoes in an even layer in the prepared dish. Sprinkle half of the grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the potatoes. Pour half of the cream mixture on top.
  5. Repeat with the remaining potato slices, cheese, and cream mixture. Press down lightly to compact the layers.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown, bubbling, and the potatoes are tender.
  8. Let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil to prevent burning. For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top before serving. Resting the dish after baking helps the sauce thicken and the layers hold together better.
