NEVER-FAIL SCALLOPED POTATOES

Combining a little microwaving with traditional baking makes the potatoes tender every time - and speeds up the cooking time, too! Making the white sauce on the stove ensures a creamy result, as well. Vary the amount and type of cheese used to your personal preference.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 potatoes, peeled
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375º F. Butter a 2-3 quart casserole.
  • Slice peeled potatoes in 1/4" slices; a mandolin makes this an easy job. Place potatoes in cold water for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain, but don't dry, the potatoes and place them in the casserole.
  • Season the potatoes well with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid (or vented plastic wrap) and microwave the "wet" potatoes for 5to 7 minutes on high power.
  • Meanwhile, prepare cheese sauce: in a small saucier, melt the butter, then add the flour. Whisk and cook the flour for 2 minutes over low heat. Add the milk and cream all at once, whisking well. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in seasonings and cheese, blending well.
  • Using hot pads, remove potatoes from the microwave and carefully remove cover (beware of the steam!). Pour the sauce over the potatoes and stir gently with a rubber spatula to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Smooth the top and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, or buttered bread crumbs, if desired. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

NEVER FAIL SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Never Fail Scalloped Potatoes Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by JanetGomez

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 tablespoons pepper
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1 3/4 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 5 medium)
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 mins or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until blended. Place half of the potatoes in a 1 1/2 qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray; layer with half of the onion and cheese sauce. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350° for 50 mins. Uncover; bake 10-15 mins longer or until bubbly and potatoes are tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for scalloped potatoes due to their creamy texture and ability to hold their shape.
  • Slice Potatoes Thinly: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This ensures even cooking and a tender texture.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are essential, and you can add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Layer Potatoes and Sauce: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in a greased baking dish, then pour over the sauce mixture. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes and sauce are used up.
  • Bake at High Heat Initially: Start by baking the scalloped potatoes at a high temperature (400°F) for about 20 minutes. This helps to brown the top and create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce Heat and Continue Baking: After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
