  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 7 cups Russet Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Peel and thinly slice the Russet potatoes to about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside in cold water.
  • Step 2: Sauté the Onions and Garlic - Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  • Step 4: Assemble the Scalloped Potatoes - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish. Layer sliced potatoes and sauce, finishing with sauce on top.
  • Step 5: Bake and Serve - Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender. Garnish with fresh parsley.
