Equipment

  • mandoline
  • air fryer
  • 6-inch round baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thin
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Gruyere Cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Butter, for greasing
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the sauce.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, flour, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk continuously and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Grease a 6 or 7-inch round baking pan (one that fits your air fryer) with the butter. Drain and pat the potato slices dry thoroughly.
  • Layer about a third of the potato slices in the pan, overlapping them slightly. Pour a third of the cream sauce over the top. Repeat with two more layers of potatoes and sauce, finishing with sauce on top.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F and place the covered pan inside. Cook for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and gruyere cheese over the top. Increase the air fryer temperature to 360 degrees F and cook uncovered for another 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
  • Let the scalloped potatoes rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped chives. Serve warm.
