Scalloped Potatoes

Or, as we call it in my family, "Potato Scallop". Whatever you call it, this is one comforting potato dish. And, trust me on the wonders that pinch of cinnamon does - these potatoes smell and taste amazing.

Scalloped Potatoes 

What you'll need

- 2 tbs butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups thinly sliced potatoes (if they're waxy potatoes like Yukon golds you can leave the peel on, otherwise, peel the potatoes first)
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 tsp cinnamon

How to make it

1. Preheat the over to 400 degrees.

2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the garlic. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the potatoes, half-and-half, and cinnamon. Keep stirring over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until the mixture has thickened (the starch from the potatoes is the thickener in this recipe).

3. Transfer to a large baking dish and cook for 45 min - 1 hour. The scalloped potatoes are ready when they are brown and bubbly. 

4. Let cool for a few minutes and serve.
