Florida Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Preheat a large cast-iron (or nonstick) skillet to medium-high. Add butter and olive oil to pan and allow to melt. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 6 minutes. Next add the fresh thyme and garlic and cook for additional 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Add in cheese ½ cup at a time, making sure  cheese fully melts each time. Taste for salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Slice potatoes and toss with the heavy cream mixture. This step helps the potatoes to cook evenly and ensures flavor on each potato slice. Arrange in a skillet in desired pattern, ensuring they are evenly distributed in skillet. Pour any remaining liquid over potatoes. Liquid should barely come to top layer of potatoes. If it doesn’t, simply add more chicken stock or heavy cream. Place in oven and bake approximately 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how thick your potato slices are. When cooked thoroughly, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and add more cheese and parsley if desired. Serve while warm.

Fresh tip: For additional flavor, try infusing the cream mixture with poblano or chipotle peppers
