Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in the minced garlic and let it infuse the cream with flavor for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Season the layer with half of the salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes.
-
Pour half of the garlic-infused cream over the cheese layer, making sure it settles into the potatoes.
-
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, seasoning, cheese, and cream.
-
Dot the top of the potatoes with butter to help them achieve a golden brown crust while baking.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the top is nicely browned.
-
Once cooked, let the Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant touch of color and freshness.
