Description
These creamy dill scalloped potatoes are a spicy twist on a classic dish, featuring layers of tender potatoes, onions, and a hint of chili heat, all baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Units
- 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) small Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced into rounds
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 3 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
Creamy Dill Sauce
- 1 pint of light cream
- 3 tbsp fresh chopped dill
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tsp salt
- Splash of lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Wash and slice the potatoes. Then place them in cold water.
- In a pan heat oil on medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and then add the apple cider vinegar and mix in. Cook until the onions are soft and golden brown. Set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, place on medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Then add the flour (I think this is like a roux…maybe). Mix until it creates this creamy brown mixture.
- Add the cream and mix in, preferably whisk in. Then add the black pepper, red chili flakes and salt. Whisk until all of the lumps are out. Once the lumps are gone, add the dill. Put on medium low heat, stirring frequently. Cook until the sauce thickens a bit and then set aside.
- Heat your oven to 350F degrees. Grease an oven proof dish. Remove the potato slices from the water and pat them dry. Then create two layers of potato (lay them out nicely), then sprinkle some of the onion mixture, then spoon and spread the cream sauce. Repeat until all of the potatoes, onions and sauce are used.
- Place in the oven for an hour. Remove and let it cool for five minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a milder dish, reduce the amount of red chili flakes.
- This dish can be prepared a day in advance and reheated before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill, but use only 1 tablespoon as it is more concentrated.
