RECIPE FOR CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Put the potatoes in a large pot. Whisk the cream, flour, bay leaf, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a bowl, then pour over the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, carefully stirring occasionally, until the cream just comes to a simmer, about 12 minutes. Continue to simmer, adjusting the heat if necessary and stirring to prevent the bottom from scorching, until the potatoes just begin to soften, about 5 more minutes. 
• Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish; discard the bay leaf. Set the baking dish in a roasting pan and add enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let stand 10 minutes before serving. 

Steps:

• Butter an 11x7-inch (2 quart) baking dish and set aside.
• Slice the peeled potatoes to 1/8 inch thick circles. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; add water to cover by 1 inch. Cook until tender and cool slightly.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a 2 1/2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion; cook 1 minute. Stir in the flour and salt. Cook until the mixture bubbles. Gradually stir in the milk and cook until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat to low.
• Stir in the sour cream and cheese. Cook on low until cheese is melted, stirring constantly.
• Layer half of potatoes in baking dish. Pour half the sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle the potatoes with paprika.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and the top starts to brown.
