I think my favorite thing about Easter is the scalloped potatoes. That's all the introduction this needs.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter, divided
- 1 pint of heavy cream
- If you're counting calories, as I am and forever will be, you can substitute a mixture of 1 cup low fat (or non-fat) sour cream and 1 cup low fat (or skim) milk
- 2 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with some sort of non-stick spray
- Throw half the sliced potatoes in the dish
- Evenly place small pieces of 1 tablespoon of butter on top of the potatoes
- Toss the garlic on top of the butter
- Pour half of your heavy cream (or sour cream and milk mixture) over the top
- Sprinkle with 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese
- Repeat steps (potatoes, butter, garlic, heavy cream, cheddar cheese)
- Cover with provolone slices
- Season with salt and pepper
- Throw it in the oven for about 1/2 hour then take it out and cover with Parmesan cheese
- Bake uncovered for another 30 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and can be easily pierced with a fork
Well, other than Jesus. Happy Easter, folks.
Love and making things just a little bit better,
