A Day in The Life. It is authored by Danielle, who is the mother to 2 adorable little boys, and she lives in beautiful Kentucky, which is right across the river from where I grew up, and it holds a special place in my heart. Danielle's blog has many recipes to choose from, but I chose this particular recipe because I thought it would be a wonderful addition to our Father's Day festivities. And it was! Delicious Scalloped Potatoes!
Scalloped Potatoes
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
1/2 teaspoon dried Thyme
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
2 pounds Russet Potatoes
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Butter or spray a casserole dish.
Peel your potatoes, and then
using a mandolin or slicer, cut your potatoes
into 1/8" slices.
In a medium saucepan, over medium low heat, warm up the cream, thyme, garlic and nutmeg. Keep your eye on the cream because you do not want it to boil over.
Place a layer of potatoes in the bottom of your prepared casserole dish, overlapping slightly.
Season with pepper.
Pour about 1/3 of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Sprinkle some of the parmesan and cheddar over the potatoes.
Do this for 2 more layers.
Enjoy!
Thanks Danielle for a great recipe, that was loved by all and made a delicious
addition to our Father's Day celebration!
