Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

These cheesy scalloped garlicy potatoes are DELISH! I made them as a side dish with grilled ribeye steaks and that lovely roasted beet, goat cheese and avocado stacked salad I made last night. But, I can see eating these potatoes with meatloaf or grilled chicken as well. The recipe came from familyfeedbag.com via Pinterest. On as scale of 1-10 for level of difficulty (10 being the hardest) I would give this recipe a 3. You basically make a very easy garlicy, cheesy sauce and slice yukon gold pototoes (no peeling either), layer the sauce and poatoes and bake. Super easy.

Although, you can ot make it as a "last minute" side dish. You will need to allow extra time (90 minutes to be exact) to make it. The recipe says that it takes 1 hour to cook, but does not specify covered or uncovered with foil. I covered my potatoes with foil until they were fork tender. My reasoning was that I had sprinkled cheese on the top layer and I didn't want it to burn before the potatoes were cooked through. That took an hour! Also, when I opened the foil the cheese I used and/or the butter in the garlic sauce caused a lot of the oils to rise to the surface. I was, frankly, a little grossed out that there was a lake of oil on the top of my potatoes. So, I spooned out all of the oil being careful not to remove any of the cheese. Then I put the potatoes back into the oven for an additional 30 minutes to brown on top. They came out perfect! Loved them (sans butter or cheesy oil). I would for sure make this again.
