24 ServingsPrep: 1-1/4 hours Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

10 pounds medium potatoes (about 30)
2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, divided
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken broth
5 cups half-and-half cream
8 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups minced fresh parsley
3 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Place potatoes in a large stockpot; cover with water. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until
crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water. When cool enough to
handle, peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-in. slices; set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt 2/3 cup butter. Stir in flour until smooth;
gradually add broth and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2
minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir 1 cup hot
cream mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring
constantly. Add the parsley, salt, pepper and cayenne. Bring to a
gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
