Certainly! Here’s a classic recipe for scalloped potatoes:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds (about 1 kg) potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups (475 ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt

• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Spread half of the sliced onions over the potatoes.

8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
9. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Once done, let the scalloped potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
