Gordon Ramsay’s version of scalloped potatoes is a savory, oven-baked dish made with thinly sliced potatoes, creamy sauce, cheese, and herbs, baked together until meltingly tender and golden on top. It’s a French-inspired comfort food dish with layers of flavor and a luxurious finish.
2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra warmth)
1 cup grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
Extra cheese for topping (optional)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cream, milk, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the dish.
Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with half the cheese.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream, and cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling.
Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to crisp the top further.
Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the cream to set.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
