Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes Cyd Raftus Mcdowell   From Every Day with Rachael Ray November 2006 EIGHT SERVINGS Prep Time: 25 min Cook Time: 45 min 2 cups milk 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled Salt 3 pounds baking potatoes, preferably Idaho, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick 3 ounces Gruyère cheese, coarsely grated (about 3/4 cup) Pinch cayenne pepper Black pepper 1 cup heavy cream 1. Place a rack in the top half of the oven and preheat to 375º. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water with the milk, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. 2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer half the potatoes to a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish; arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with half the cheese and the cayenne; season with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top. Bake the scalloped potatoes until golden and crisp on top, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
