Gruyere Scalloped Potatoes

My family's favorite potatoes!

My brother, Joe, made these potatoes many years ago and it was love at first bite. These potatoes are very creamy and garlicky! Gruyere is a wonderfully pungent cheese and adds much flavor to the potatoes. (If you must make a substitution use Swiss cheese.)

These potatoes are a great change from baked potatoes. Serve them with steak, baked chicken or roast pork tenderloin.

Ingredients & Preparation

You will need
3 lbs Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced 3 cups half and half 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded 1 stick butter 1tsp salt 1/2tsp white pepper	Serves: 6 to 8 Preparation Time: 15 Minutes Cooking Time: 45 Minutes to 1 Hour Oven Temperature: 350

Step 1:

Peel the potatoes and slice in 1/8" slices. (Using a food processor with the slicing blade makes quick work of this step and creates even slices.)

Melt the butter in a dutch oven or large pot. Add potatoes, salt, pepper and garlic. Pour half and half to just cover potatoes. Add more half and half if needed to cover.

Heat over medium heat until potatoes are slightly tender. Be careful not to over cook as potatoes will finish in the oven.

Step 2: Bake

Pour potatoes and half and half in a 9 X 13 baking dish. Spread the shredded Gruyere over top and place in the oven to bake. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Measurements do not need to be exact. Use more or less garlic, according to your taste.
