Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
½ onion, thinly sliced
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
6 tablespoons butter, diced and divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups whole milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread about 1/3 of the potato slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with about 1/3 of the onion slices. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over the potato and onion. Arrange 2 tablespoons butter atop the flour. Season the entire layer with salt and pepper. Repeat layering twice more.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for scalloped potatoes, as they hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
  • Slice Potatoes Thinly and Evenly: This ensures even cooking and a uniform texture throughout the dish.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Seasonings: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley add a burst of flavor to the dish. Seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder enhance the overall taste.
  • Layer Potatoes and Franks Meticulously: Arrange the potato slices and sliced hot dogs in alternating layers, ensuring they overlap slightly. This creates a visually appealing and evenly cooked dish.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: A blend of sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese provides a rich, melted cheese sauce that coats the potatoes and hot dogs perfectly.
  • Bake Until Potatoes Are Tender: The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices. Insert a knife into the center of the casserole; it should slide in easily when the potatoes are done.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes and franks is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines the classic flavors of creamy scalloped potatoes with the savory smokiness of hot dogs. The combination of tender potatoes, melted cheese, and juicy hot dogs makes it a hit among both kids and adults.
