2. Thinly slice 2 large zucchini into 1/4” thick rings. Zucchini should be sliced thicker than potatoes. Very Thinly Slice potatoes into 1/16” thick rings. Use a mandolin slicer if you have one (just be careful!). Transfer sliced zucchini and potatoes to a large mixing bowl and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp oregano.

3. Layer the vegetables in the casserole dish, alternating with zucchini and potatoes.You can double up the potatoes here and there since there will be more potato slices than zucchini.

4. Pour cream mixture evenly over the top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered at 400˚F for 40-45 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork. Bake time may vary depending on how thick you sliced the potatoes. Remove from oven and let rest at least 10 minutes then garnish with chives if desired and serve.

    Hi Natasha, will this recipe taste good on the second day if reheated? Also, what do you think about adding sweet potatoes?

      Hi Ina, I love this most fresh but this one does reheat well the next day :). I haven’t tried with sweet potatoes but that would be a good experiment! If you test it out, let me know how you liked it.

    Hi Natasha, I am just curious why you cover the Au Gratin Scalloped Potatoes first, but not the Zucchini Potato Bake.

      Hi Christina, the bake with all potatoes together takes a little longer to bake so I cover it to trap the heat and steam. Since this one is layered with zucchini and sliced very thinly, it bakes faster and doesn’t require covering.

    Hi Natasha, It was delicious me and my family we love it thank you soo much.
    Natasha, I’m thinking of investing in new pots and pans. I really don’t know much about that. Can you shed some light and give a brand. A good quality brand that would last me a long time. And the food doesn’t get stuck. Lol . Thank you

      Hi Sandra, so far, my favorite brand was the circulon brand (amazon affiliate link) as a non-stick pan. I have been testing a couple of others afterwards since people do ask this question frequently and I want to give a good recommendation and the circulon seemed to last the longest.

      Hi Cathy, I would suggest one of our potato gratins which don’t have zucchini if your family does not enjoy zucchini.

    Would you be able to make this uncooked and freeze? My husband is on a strict diet for 2 more weeks and I have only 1 zucchini left. Don’t want to wait 2 weeks to use it up.

      Hi Sue, With this particular recipe, I would not advise prepping it in advance. After the potatoes and zucchini are salted, they both start to release juice if they sit for awhile so it is best to bake right away with this recipe.

      Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Sue!

    Made this the other day. Was skeptical of what the sauce would taste like, was very tempted to tweak it but considering it was my first time trying the recipe, I figured I’d leave it be and tweak next time. Ummmmmm, silly me, I should no know better that Natasha’s recipes DO NOT need to be tweaked!!!
    This was delicious!!! Some potatoes were not cooked through, should use the mandaline next time for an even cut. Also would add more garlic since I love me some extra garlic.
    Thank you Natasha for your hard work and dedication to this site and recipes, it’s a staple in my household for meal ideas.

    My husband loves this dish. I’m not a fan of cooked veggies for some reason I like them are. But still was quite delicious! I will probably make a row though without the zucchini for me. But my husband said he loves the whole thing!
