Scalloped Garlic Potatoes
4 whole heads Garlic
2 tsp. Olive Oil
2 1/3 C. minced Shallots (about 15 medium)
2 T. Balsamic Vinegar
2 1/2 C. 2% milk
2 T. Flour
2 T. chopped Thyme
Pepper
2 lb. Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced thin
1/2 C. grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Remove white papery skins from outside garlic heads, but do not separate or peel cloves. Wrap each head separately in foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour; allow to cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves and squeeze to extract pulp (you should have about 1/4 C.) and discard skins. Turn oven up to 375. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots, sauté 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in vinegar and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, about a minute. Remove from heat. Place garlic, milk, flour, thyme and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. Arrange 1/3 of potatoes in a 13×9” dish coating with cooking spray. Spread half the shallots over the potatoes; repeat with remaining potatoes and shallots, ending with potatoes. Pour milk mixture evenly over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 15 minutes, or until cheese is golden. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
