SCALLOPED POTATOES
The perfect side dish to an elegant or celebratory main course, or the welcome addition to any potluck supper, scalloped potatoes are one of those dishes that seem complicated, but are deceptively simple. You'll need to put in a bit of "peeler time" to get the spuds ready for the oven, but after that it's just a long bake and a short standing period to let the sauce thicken. Then, voila! you're ready to serve.

SCALLOPED POTATOES
This recipe was adapted from The Joy of Cooking (my bible). Very good. They are a bit runny with the use of so much cream and/or milk so you might reduce it if that is not what you are looking for. Delicious.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Layer the potatoes in a greased baking dish: Overlapping the potatoes slightly is okay.
- Season the potatoes: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Add a creamy sauce: A mixture of milk, cream, and cheese is classic, but you can also use a béchamel or velouté sauce.
- Top with cheese: Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good choices.
- Bake until golden brown: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
