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.
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!
