Scalloped Potato

 















Scalloped Potato has become a family favourite since I started making it. It is rich in cheese which makes the potatoes very tasty. It paired very well with roast chicken, beef, mutton or lamb. It can also be eaten as snacks.


Ingredients:
  • 350 g peeled potatoes
  • 100 g Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder

Method:
  • Grease an oven proof dish (14 cm x 14 cm or 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch) with butter.
  • Slice the peeled potatoes into 2 mm thickness.
  • Arrange the slices horizontally in an overlapping manner in an oven proof dish.
  • Sprinkle grated Mozzarella cheese on top of the sliced potatoes.
  • Arrange another layer of sliced potatoes on top of the grated Mozzarella cheese.
  • Sprinkle grated Mozzarella cheese on top of the second layer.
  • Arrange a final layer of sliced potatoes on top of the Mozzarella cheese. Set the dish aside.
  • Add butter into a sauce pan over medium heat.
  • When the butter has melted, add chopped garlic to it. Use a whisk to stir the chopped garlic.
  • Saute the garlic till fragrant.
  • Add flour to the butter. Keep on whisking to prevent clumps from forming.
  • Once the batter is smooth, add milk to it. Continue to whisk the batter.
  • Add salt and pepper to the batter.
  • Continue to whisk till the batter thickens slightly.
  • Pour the batter into the dish of layered potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the batter.
  • Bake at 200 deg C for 40 minutes or till the potatoes are cooked.
