Scalloped potato rolls are a delightful variation on the classic scalloped potatoes dish, presenting a unique and visually appealing way to enjoy this comfort food favorite. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through making them:
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar works well)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare Potatoes and Onions: Thinly slice the potatoes and onions. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices if you have one.
- Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sautΓ© until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Layering: Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese and a layer of sliced onions over the potatoes. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
- Pour Cream Sauce: Carefully pour the warm cream sauce over the layered potatoes, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Final Touch: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to slice the scalloped potato roll into portions and serve warm. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
