๐Ÿฅ” Hasselback Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4โ€“5 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
  • ยฝ cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyรจre cheese (or mozzarella/Swiss)
  • ยฝ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ยฝ tsp thyme (fresh or dried)
  • ยฝ tsp rosemary (fresh or dried)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
  2. Wash and peel potatoes (optional โ€“ you can keep the skins for a rustic look).
  3. Slice each potato hasselback-style: cut thin slices ยพ of the way down, without cutting through. (Tip: place the potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through).

2. Make the Cream Mixture

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and sautรฉ until fragrant (about 1 min).
  2. Pour in cream and milk, then stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat gently until warm but not boiling.

3. Assemble the Dish

  1. Place potatoes upright in a greased baking dish.
  2. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes, letting it seep into the slices.
  3. Sprinkle Gruyรจre cheese in between the potato slices (use your fingers or a spoon to tuck some in).
  4. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top.

4. Bake

  1. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  2. Remove foil and bake another 20โ€“25 minutes, until potatoes are tender inside and golden crispy on top.
  3. If desired, broil for 2โ€“3 minutes at the end for an extra crispy finish.

5. Serve

  • Garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Serve hot as a side with roasted chicken, beef, or even as a vegetarian main dish.

๐ŸŒŸ Tips & Variations

  • Extra cheesy: Add a layer of cheddar for more richness.
  • Creamy onion flavor: Mix caramelized onions into the cream before baking.
  • Spicy kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes or paprika.
