Creamy potato and parmesan cheese casserole which can be served as a side or a main dish.
It is pretty easy to do, and can be a great choice if you need to bring something with you to a cookout.
Left overs can be easily stored in fridge and re-heated in microwave.
Ingredients:
4-5 yukon gold potatoes (about 2lbs)
1 big onion
Bunch of fresh parsley
1 cup of grated parmesan
1.5 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of flour
3 tablespoons of butter
Ground black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
How to prepare, step-by-step:
Prepare ingredients: peel potatoes, don’t rinse them (or pat dry with pepper towel if you do):
Warm up sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter:
Clean and chop onion, add it to the pot, fry onions over moderate heat until softened and transparent, stir from time to time:
Add flour in:
Cook flour together with onions constantly stirring to prevent burning for about 2 minutes:
Gradually whisk in all milk, bring pot content to light simmer and cook until thickened, then remove from the burner:
Add 3/4 cup of parmesan to the sauce pot:
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste:
And mix everything:
Chop green parsley:
Preheat oven to 375F. Slice potatoes thin, I used my mandoline on ⅛ inch setting and cut resistant kitchen gloves to keep my hands safe, but you can use knife too, it will take a bit more time though:
Spread a bit of sauce on the bottom of the baking pan and layer half of all potato slices in it:
Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper:
Cover with half of sauce:
Layer all chopped parsley:
Layer remaining potato slices:
Season with salt and ground black pepper again:
Top with remaining sauce:
And dust with remaining parmesan cheese:
Put to the preheated oven for 35-45 mins (or until potatoes are tender to your liking):
Wow, these look absolutely yummy. I've always made my own version of Scalloped potatoes. I've been making them the same for 50 years and finally found an easy way. Usually, I layer, pot., layer onion flakes, layer cheese, layer flour, layer salt/pepper then drizzle with milk repeat and repeat and repeat until I'm exhausted. Thank you, so much!
