Cooking Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature before you start assembling the dish.
• Grease a baking dish thoroughly with butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking during baking and to add extra richness to the dish.
• Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the greased dish to create the base layer.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of potatoes to add gooey, cheesy flavor.
• In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing thoroughly to blend all the flavors together.
• Pour half of the creamy mixture evenly over the potato and cheese layers, ensuring every slice is coated for creamy texture throughout.
• Repeat the layering with the remaining sliced potatoes, cheese, and cream mixture to build up the dish with multiple rich, cheesy layers.
• Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to allow the potatoes to steam and cook evenly while baking for 45 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until the top turns beautifully golden and bubbly.
• Let the scalloped potatoes rest and cool for 10 minutes to set before serving, allowing the layers to firm up and making it easier to serve.
