Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

2 ½ - 3lbs yellow potatoes (about 6 potatoes), sliced thin 

1 1/4 cup whole milk

1 tbsp unsalted butter + more butter to grease the baking dish

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp kosher salt

½ tsp ground pepper

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup grated Landana Goat Cheese with Italian Herbs

Garnish: Fresh chives, minced

Serving Options:

Honey Mustard Glazed Ham

Servings: 6-8

Preparation: 20 minutes

Total Time:  1 hour 45 minutes

Kitchen Equipment: 9x12 baking dish

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease the baking dish with butter.
2. Slice the potatoes as thin as you can (⅛-¼ inch). Divide potatoes into approximately 4 even piles and set aside.
3. In a small pot add milk, butter, minced garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Warm over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until warmed through and whisk ingredients together. Set aside.
4. You’re going to make four layers of potatoes in your baking dish. 
5. Start by layering potatoes on the bottom of the pan, overlapping the edges of the potatoes slightly and sprinkle the layer with a quarter of the shredded parmesan cheese. 
6. Repeat this process three more times to complete 4 layers but reserve the final portion of shredded parmesan cheese. Slowly pour the warmed milk mixture over the potatoes.
7. Finally top with remaining shredded parmesan cheese and the shredded landana goat cheese.
8. Cook in the oven for 55-65 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are soft. *Tip: Halfway through the baking time remove from the oven and gently press down on the top of the potatoes with a spatula to keep the top layer moist.
9. When the potatoes are done, remove from the oven and let sit 15-20 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped chives just before serving.
   
   

Recipe Pro Tips:

• Yukon gold and other yellow-fleshed potatoes work the best and keep their shape vs. russet potatoes that tend to fall apart. 
• If you pair this recipe with the Honey Mustard Glazed Ham, they can cook together in the oven at the same time!
