Scalloped Potato Recipe??

[Anonymous]

Sine the weather is rainy and cool I was thinking of scalloped potatoes. I used to have this very yummy recipe. It involved making a roux ,boiling potatoes and adding cheese then baking. Does anyone have a similar recipe or one that you just love? Thanks!

I slice the potatoes, then boil until just slightly soft, then layer with shredded gruyere cheese (mozarella works too), peper/salt on each layer, then pour half-and-half over it, and bake.

I always use a recipe for gratin dauphinoise that I had clipped from Vogue magazine, of all places. It doesn't have cheese in it, but most people think it tastes cheesy. I don't have the specifics, but it goes like this:

sliced potatoes
scalded milk/cream (in which a smashed garlic clove is steeped)
salt, pepper, dash of freshly grated nutmeg

This is arranged in a buttered dish and cooked covered for around 30 minutes, and uncovered for another 15-25.

These potatoes are fantastic, and taste far more complex than the ingredients would let you believe. It is best made in a metal dish, as both the bottom and the top get a bit of a crust.
