How to make Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Step 1: Prepare the oven and preheat to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Spray with cooking spray on the bottom of an oven-safe casserole dish.
Step 3: Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into thin crosswise circles. I usually slice mine 1/8-inch thick.
Step 4: Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl with cold water.
Step 5: Put a medium saucepan over the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Step 6: Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Step 7: Add the garlic, onion, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Saute for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 8: Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Step 9: Add the flour and whisk for 30 seconds or until well incorporated.
Step 10: Add the milk or heavy cream gradually. Whisk continuously until well blended.
Step 11: Add the 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir until well mixed.
Step 12: Drain the potatoes and use paper towels to pat them dry.
Step 13: In a 3-quart oven-safe casserole dish, add a thin layer of the cheese sauce.
Step 14: Place 2 slices of potatoes on top. Repeat the process until everything is arranged in layers.
Step 15: Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the potatoes.
Step 16: Loosely cover the casserole dish with aluminium foil.
Step 17: Put it inside the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Step 18: Remove the cover and bake for 15 minutes more or until bubbly.
Step 19: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped chives on top.
Step 20: Allow the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 21: Serve and enjoy!
