3 c. all-purpose flour, divided, plus more as needed
(1 1/4-oz.) packet Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for topping
2 tsp. garlic powder
large eggs, beaten

4 tbsp. butter, melted, divided
1 1/4 c. shredded mozzarella, divided

Cooking spray

clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. freshly chopped parsley

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan

 

DIRECTIONS
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, Fleischmann’s RapidRise yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.

  6. Toward the end of the rise, in a small bowl, stir together remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Brush garlic butter onto rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining ½ cup mozzarella.

Garlic Parm Au Gratin

SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS
Butter, for pan
3 lb. russet potatoes
2 1/2 c. half-and-half
cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
2 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

 

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a large baking dish all over with butter and place on top of a baking sheet (to catch any cream that might overflow). Peel potatoes then cut into very thin slices, about ¼” thick. (Using a mandoline if you have one!) Place in a bowl and cover with water to prevent browning.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine half-and-half, garlic and thyme. Heat mixture until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Stir in 1 ½ cups Parmesan then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  3. Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Arrange potatoes in the baking dish, fanning the potatoes to look like shingles. Pour warm cream mixture over the potatoes and press down on the potatoes to make sure that every potato is coated. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
  4. Bake until the top is bubbling and golden and the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  5. Serve warm.
