Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced (Yukon Golds optional)

Dairy Mixture

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 package Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb flavor)

Seasoning and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Nonstick cooking spray (or butter for greasing dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish using nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, half-and-half, and Boursin cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese melts completely and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from heat once blended.
  3. First Potato Layer: Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes in overlapping rows inside the prepared baking dish. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  4. Pour Cream Mixture: Evenly pour half of the cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes, ensuring thorough coverage.
  5. Second Potato Layer: Layer the remaining potatoes over the cream mixture, season again with salt and pepper for balanced seasoning, then pour over the remaining cream mixture.
  6. Bake: Place the uncovered baking dish in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the scalloped potatoes from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh chives or green onions over the top, and serve hot for the best flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices, but be careful to avoid injury.
  • Substitute russet potatoes with Yukon Golds for a creamier texture profile.
  • Add a handful of shredded Gruyère or Parmesan cheese between layers for an extra cheesy flavor boost.
  • You can assemble the dish ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, add 10 extra minutes to the baking time.
