Scalloped Potato Recipe

This scalloped potato recipe — inspired by one of the great American chefs Charlie Trotter — is a nice alternative to mashed potatoes for your holiday dinner.

The scalloped potatoes are quite hearty, so you can easily serve larger portions to your vegetarian guests for a hearty main dish.

Although this recipe calls for my garlic-shallot puree, you can also use fresh cloves of garlic as a substitute.

Scalloped potatoes take some time and patience to prepare, but the finished product is worth it. Top them with freshly chopped chives for a beautiful presentation.

They’re also great served alongside my roast chicken!
