Cheesy Garlic Scalloped Potatoes for Christmas

Ultimate Comfort: Cheesy Garlic Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 5 lbs Russet potatoes, sliced ⅛” thick
  • 2 cups onions, chopped small
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup butter (½ stick)
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese, grated, divided
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese, grated
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a 14 x 11½ x 2¼ baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, approximately ⅛” thick. Place them in a large bowl until ready to use.
  3. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over low heat, then add the onions and garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture, stir, and cook for a couple of minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Gently pour the vegetable broth into the pan, stirring to combine. Add salt, pepper, seasoning, and heavy cream. Stir until thickened, then remove from heat just before boiling. Stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Layer ⅓ of the potato slices in the baking dish, then add ⅓ of the sour cream and ⅓ of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Top with ⅓ of the Parmesan, ⅓ of the pepper jack cheese, and ⅓ of the cheddar cheese.
  7. Repeat the layering two more times, finishing with a layer of cheddar cheese on top.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 1½ to 2 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  9. About 15-20 minutes before the potatoes are done, remove the foil to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
  10. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let sit for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy this festive comfort dish with family and friends!
