Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Canadian bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent results if available.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the prepared baking dish, layer one-third of the sliced potatoes. Top with one-third of the Canadian bacon, then pour one-third of the cream sauce over the top. Sprinkle with one-third of the shredded cheeses.
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of scalloped potatoes with Canadian bacon.
