Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • Cooking spray (olive oil mister preferred)
  • 2 pounds peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup grated smoked gouda cheese
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for slow baking the scalloped potatoes.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Rub the inside of a casserole baking dish with the halved garlic clove to impart a subtle garlic flavor. Then spray the dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Layer Potatoes and Cheese: Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes evenly in the dish. Drizzle two tablespoons of melted butter over this layer, season with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle with half a cup of grated smoked gouda cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, and gouda.
  4. Add Milk: Pour one cup of whole milk evenly over the layered potatoes to add creaminess and help cook the potatoes through.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. This allows the potatoes to become tender while the flavors meld.
  6. Bake Uncovered to Brown: Remove the foil and continue baking the dish uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. This step browns the top, creating a golden, slightly crisp cheese crust.

Notes

  • For best results, slice potatoes uniformly thin to ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute smoked gouda with regular gouda or cheddar if desired.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste preference.
  • Covering the dish during most of the bake keeps the potatoes moist and tender.
  • Use whole milk for creaminess, but 2% milk can be substituted for a lighter option.
