2 tablespoons unsalted butter (+more for greasing pan)

2 tablespoons minced shallot

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Arahan

Prepare Pan

Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃. Generously butter a 2-quart casserole dish with butter.

Prepare Potatoes

Peel 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes and then use a mandolin, food processor fitted with slicing blade, or sharp knife to thinly slice potatoes into ⅛-inch thin slices. Arrange the sliced potatoes in even layers in the buttered casserole dish.

Saute

Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium-low heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Once the butter has melted, add 2 tablespoons minced shallot and sauté for about 3 minutes or until the shallots begin to soften, being careful to not burn your shallots.

Form Roux

Add 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the saucepan whisking well to form a thick paste. Allow to cook for 1 minute, to remove the raw flour taste from the sauce.

Simmer

Slowly whisk ½ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth into the roux until incorporated. Then slowly whisk in ¾ cup half and half until incorporated. Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves. Allow the sauce to simmer on medium-low heat for several minutes until the sauce has thickened, whisking constantly. The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and slowly drips off the spoon.

Assemble

Remove the cream sauce from the heat and pour it over the prepared potatoes in the casserole dish. Push down lightly to allow the sauce to cover all the potatoes from top to bottom. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Bake covered for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil, and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and browned.

Let the scalloped potatoes rest for 10-15 minutes and then serve warm.
