French Scalloped Potatoes Recipes

BOULANGERE POTATOES (FRENCH SCALLOPED POTATOES)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• 2. Bring stock to boil as you slice the potatoes.
• 3. Thinly slice the potatoes. Add potatoes to a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss.
• 4. Add potatoes and a few pieces of butter to the prepared baking dish. Add enough stock to cover the potatoes by about 2/3's. Press down gently with your hands.
• 5. Sprinkle sliced onion evenly on top. Drizzle with olive oil and dot with a few more pieces of butter.
• 6. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and continue to bake potatoes until golden brown and fork tender, about 30 to 60 minutes.

SCALLOPED POTATO WITH FRENCH ONION BASE

Steps:

• Thinly scallop the potatoes.
• Par boil potatoes for approximately 5 minutes just to soften them a tiny bit.
• Heat oven to approximately 200 degrees.
• Grease the bottom and sides of an oven friendly dish with a small amount of butter.
• Layer the bottom of the dish with a layer of sliced potato, lightly sprinkle over some of the french onion soup mix and pour some cream over the top. Repeat this step for each layer.
• Cover with foil and bake for approximately 60 minutes. Remove the foil approximately 40 minutes into the cooking cycle so the top can brown.

FRENCH SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Arrange 1/2 potatoes into a buttered 9x13 pan, dot with butter, top with onions, sprinkle with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix cream and corn starch, pour over top. Add 1/2 of the cheese, top with remaining potatoes, sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for about an hour, or until potatoes are golden brown.
• 2. I usually make a double batch for family get togethers...I cover the 9x13 with foil for an hour then remove and bake another 30-45 minutes...the extra thickness means extra bake time.
