  • LIGHTER SCALLOPED POTATOES Serves 8. Published April 20, 2007. The quickest way to slice the potatoes is in a food processor fitted with a 1/8-inch-thick slicing blade. Halve the potatoes crosswise and put them in the feed tube cut-side down so that they sit flat on the surface of the slicing disk. A mandoline or V-slicer is the other option. Don't try to slice the potatoes with a knife; you won't get them thin enough. It is best to assemble all of your ingredients before slicing the potatoes. If the potato slices discolor as they stand, put them in a bowl and cover with the milk in the recipe. Don't be tempted to slice the potatoes and store them in water-this will remove some of the starch that is necessary to thicken the milk. This recipe was published in our cookbook The Best Light Recipe.

These scalloped potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I will add some more cheese and maybe some chopped onions or peppers.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great! I love that it's a lighter version of scalloped potatoes, but it's still just as flavorful and satisfying. I usually add a little bit of chopped ham or bacon to the potatoes for extra

These scalloped potatoes were delicious! I used a combination of Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes, and they turned out perfectly. The sauce was creamy and cheesy, and the potatoes were cooked through but still had a little bit of a bite to them. I will

I followed the recipe exactly and my scalloped potatoes turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
