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!)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for scalloped potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and have a tender texture.
  • Use a good-quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the scalloped potatoes a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the scalloped potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for scalloped potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes rest before serving: This will allow the sauce to thicken and the potatoes to absorb the flavors.

Conclusion:

Microwaved scalloped potatoes are a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and they can be made with just a few simple ingredients. With the right tips and techniques, you can make perfect microwaved scalloped potatoes every time. Experiment with different seasonings and cheeses to find your favorite combination. Enjoy!
