Smoky Scalloped Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter foams, add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and pour in the half-and-half, smoked paprika, and potatoes. Bring to a low simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour half of the potato mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Shake the pan to arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle half of each of the cheeses on top of the bottom layer. Add the remaining potatoes, and shake again to arrange in a layer. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbling. Remove the foil, and place back in the oven for 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes and cheese are golden and browned.
• Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Blanch potato slices in boiling water for 5 minutes.
• Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Spray a two-quart casserole with oil.
• Make a layer of 1/2 of the potatoes.
• Top with the cheese, onion, and flour.
• Top with the rest of the potatoes.
• Season.
• Slightly heat the milk and pour over the casserole.
• Cover and bake for 50 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for 20 minutes longer (or until lightly brown).
• Serve warm.
