Savory parmesan scalloped potatoes. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
What you'll need:
Potatoes. About 2 pounds. Anything but the sweet ones
Half of one medium onion
1 cup parmesan cheese. The real stuff. Not that powdered junk. Shredded or grated
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup milk1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Medium sized saucepan8x8 baking dish or 2-3 quart dutch oven
How To:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Peel potatoes and slice to 1/8 inch thickness using your desired slicing device. I like using a mandolin. Place in water to prevent browning.
-Slice onion using same device to the same thickness.
-Melt butter in a medium saucepan at medium/low heat.
-Once melted add flour to the butter and mix till it forms a paste.
-While stirring, SLOWLY add the milk to the paste.
-Once milk is incorporated add the salt and bring ALMOST to a boil. Watch your heat so the milk does not scorch.
-Add the parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove from heat and lid to retain ooey gooey goodness(keep it warm).
-Grease the pan and layer about 1/2 of the potatoes on the bottom. Add 1/2 of the sliced onions on top and sprinkle with 1/2 the pepper.
-Add 1/2 of the cheese sauce on top of the potatoes. Repeat the previous step adding the other 1/2 of the cheese sauce on top of the next layer.
-Evenly spread last cheese layer on top of the potatoes and onions.
-OPTIONAL sprinkle with paprika for color.
-Bake covered for about 30 minutes
-After 30 minutes uncover and bake for another 30 minutes.
-Potatoes are done when a toothpick or fork can easily be pushed to the bottom of the pan.-
Sprinkle with green shit if you want it to be pretty(chives, parsley or whatever)
-Enjoy
