Parmesan Crusted Scalloped Potatoes

Rich, creamy, and cheesy potatoes smothered in heavy cream and Parmesan goodness, and it’s sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving feast!

I’m not much of a sweets person but carbs and I get along very well, whether it’s freshly baked bread, pasta, french fries, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, baked potatoes and pretty much any other potato variation out there. But I’ve come to realize that my ultimate potato weakness involves these scalloped potatoes.

Now if you’ve never had scalloped potatoes, boy, are you in for a treat. Thinly sliced potatoes are arranged in an overlapping pattern before they’re soaked in heavy cream simmered in garlic and fresh thyme. Then you top that off with a bit of grated Parmesan and pop that baby right into the oven. But I took it a step further and piled on that Parmesan cheese on that top layer, finishing it off in the broiler for that amazing, crispy, golden crust.

It’s so good, you’ll just want to devour that crust before diving right into the potatoes!
