3 Scalloped Potatoes Recipes from Celebrity Chefs | Scalloped Potato Gratin Recipe
I’ve been reviewing some (3) Scalloped Potatoes Recipes from Celebrity Chefs,
as one of my food assignments for Christmas Eve dinner, (which is being hosted at my cousin’s house), is a potato side dish.
Hands down, I love scalloped potatoes for special dinners, like the Christmas Holidays!
Here’s a a look at some scalloped potato recipes from some famous chefs.
Scalloped Potatoes Recipes from Celebrity Chefs
This is basic recipe for Scalloped Potatoes from Emeril Lagasse over at the Food Network:
Scalloped Potatoes Recipe
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper
3 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, not rinsed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook onion in butter in a large skillet until soft, add flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking. Whisk in milk and cook until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and add 3/4 cup of cheese, stirring until melted; season with salt and pepper.
Layer half of potatoes in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with half of sauce. Layer remaining potato slices on top of sauce and season. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Sounds good to me…
This simple scalloped potatoes recipe,
times 4,
to make 12 servings should be enough…
And I’m going to use 3 different kinds of cheeses….sharp cheddar, freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, and thin sliced Provolone (which melts splendidly)
and I’ll most likely add a few more twists of my own. Maybe sprinkle with chives and bacon bits? Maybe cream instead of milk…fresh herbs…garlic…
Cooking can be so creative!

Scalloped Potato Gratin Recipe
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Butter
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
While cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers.
Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
And, for you serious cheese lovers, this is a tasty recipe for Scalloped Potatoes with Three Cheeses from Rick Rodgers, cookbook author and teacher, and Bon Appetite:
Rick Rodgers says,
“I’ve always thought of mashed potatoes as an everyday way to serve potatoes, but scalloped potatoes really say special occasion to me.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter—they all call for scalloped potatoes, not something as humble as mashed. And since I’ve never been one for bland food, I kept fiddling with the amount and types of cheeses until I got this full-flavored version. If you like it with turkey, wait until you try it with the Easter ham.”
Scalloped Potatoes with Three Cheeses Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4 cup (packed) grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 4ounces)
3/4 cup crumbled Danish blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/4 ounces)
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 cups whole milk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Parmesan in small mixing bowl.
Arrange half of potatoes in prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle onion over, then flour. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons butter. Reserve remaining cheese.
Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour milk over potatoes (milk will not cover potatoes completely).
Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids in dish may look curdled); sprinkle potatoes with reserved cheese mixture.
Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes longer.
(Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover and rewarm in 375°F oven about 20 minutes.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.
