Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously brush six 6-to-8-ounce ramekins with butter. Combine the cheddar, parmesan, chives, flour and cayenne in a large bowl. Thinly slice the potatoes a little less than 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well) and add to the cheese mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper and toss to combine.

Divide half of the potato-cheese mixture among the prepared ramekins, filling them about halfway (arrange the potato slices so they go to the edge of the ramekins). Top with half of the cream. Repeat with the remaining potato-cheese mixture and cream.

Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet, cover each with foil and bake until the liquid is bubbly and the potatoes begin to soften but are not completely cooked through, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, uncover the ramekins and bake until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

If you like scalloped potatoes you will LOVE these, these are every thing you are looking for in scalloped potatoes, every thing about them is amazing! and i love the individual serving size, work great with a flay or any kind of meat, I also thought bacon would go great in there. Definitely a keeper! You got to try this!


Excellent! Followed recipe as written except decreased salt to 1/2 tsp and used a small pinch of cayenne pepper instead of large pinch..Also used 4 medium thin potatoes for 2 people and layered as directed in 2 individual casserole dishes. I divided the heavy cream into 1/4 cup between the layers and 1/4 cup on top.( Used 1/2 cup total per dish. Baked covered at 350 degrees for 50 minutes then uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 minutes until nicely browned.
