Crunchy Scalloped Potatoes With Thyme Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with the butter.
• Bring the cream, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then turn off stove.
• Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick rounds.) Arrange half the potato slices into a single, overlapping layer on the sheet pan, and sprinkle evenly with salt and half the grated Parmesan. Top with the remaining potato slices and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle the hot cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with Gruyere and the remaining Parmesan. Cook uncovered until very brown and crusty on top, rotating the pan halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the peeled potatoes as finely as possible on a mandolin, with the fine slicing blade of a food processor, or with a very sharp knife. (The more finely you slice them, the quicker and more evenly they will cook.)
• Pat the potatoes dry with a clean tea towel and tip into a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter, sprinkle over the thyme and some salt (preferably sea salt or rock salt), and toss until each slice is coated in butter.
• In a roasting tin, measuring about 20 x 20cm, assemble the potato slices vertically, tightly packed together like a deck of cards, until the dish is full and you've used all the potatoes. Sprinkle with a little more salt and place in the oven for 45-50 mins until crisp and cooked. Use a skewer or small sharp knife to check that the potatoes are completely soft and cooked in the centre. Serve from the tin alongside the lamb.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a small pan, melt butter.
• Stir in the bread crumbs and saute briefly.
• Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Place 1/3 of the potatoes into the baking dish.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture evenly over the potatoes and top with 1/2 of onions (if desired).
• Repeat.
• Top with remaining third of potatoes and flour mixture.
• Mix together Chicken stock, whipping cream and mustard.
• Pour mixture over the potatoes.
• Bake for 1 hour at 400°F.
• Turn oven down to 350°F.
• Lightly spread the bread crumb mixture over the top and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
