This is a delicious side dish can be largely assembled ahead: Leave off the last portion of cheese, cover the dish with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate it for up to one day. Remove it 30 minutes before baking, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake as instructed.

SCALLOPED POTATOES FOR TWO



Scalloped Potatoes for Two image

Since I sometimes have to cook for just me, I've been on a search for recipes that make enough for just one or two people. So when I came across this one in the TOH 2002 Annual Recipes that was sent in to them by Edith Jennings of Prarie City, Iowa, I knew I had to try it.The time for peeling the potatoes has been included in the prep time. I guess if you wanted to speed up the time it takes to prepare this recipe, you could slightly cook the potatoes in the microwave or on the stove top. The addition of the French Fried Onions was my idea. Sumitted to " ZAAR " on October 21, 2009.

EASY MICROWAVE SCALLOPED POTATOES



Easy Microwave Scalloped Potatoes image

This came from a recipe book given to me by my grandmother-in-law. I like it because it cooks in about 1/2 the time of regular (oven) scalloped potatoes, and tastes basically the same. Great for weeknights when time is at a premium, or if you have no room in the oven. (Note, I noticed other recipes for scalloped potatoes call for cheese or other ingredients - this is scalloped potatoes like my mom used to make, basically just white sauce and potatoes. We always eat ours with lots of ketchup on top!)

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons margarine or 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 -6 medium potatoes, sliced
1 small onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Put margarine (or butter) into LARGE glass bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute, or until melted. (If you really like cleaning your microwave, feel free to use a smaller bowl.).
  • Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Gradually stir in milk.
  • Microwave on High 8-10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.
  • Layer half the potatoes and onion in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the prepared sauce, then the rest of the potatoes and onion, then the rest of the sauce.
  • Cover and microwave on High 20 minutes, or until done. (Cooking times will depend on the strength of your microwave; I think ours is in the 1,200-watt range, and 20 minutes usually works just fine for us).

Tips:

- For a creamy sauce, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk in the sauce. - Add some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese to the sauce for extra flavor. - If you don't have a microwave-safe baking dish, you can use a regular baking dish and cover it with plastic wrap. - Cook the potatoes in the microwave in 5-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, to ensure even cooking. - Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Conclusion:

This creamy microwave scalloped potatoes recipe is an easy and delicious side dish that can be made in just 20 minutes. With a few simple ingredients and a microwave, you can enjoy a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful potato dish that is perfect for any occasion.
