Scalloped Potatoes Without Cheese
Thinly sliced potatoes baked slowly in a seasoned cream sauce with smoked paprika and garlic, with no cheese at all.
Ingredients
- 1.2 kg potatoes 2.5 lbs, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a baking dish with a little of the butter.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining butter.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until smooth.
- Add the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour over half of the cream sauce.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for a further 15 minutes, until bubbling and lightly golden on top.
- Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. Slice the potatoes about 3 mm thick and keep them even, since uneven slices are the usual reason a dish comes out with hard pieces. Do not rinse the slices, because their surface starch helps thicken the sauce. Assemble up to 24 hours ahead if you like, then add 10 to 15 minutes to the covered baking time.
