Scalloped potatoes, a classic comfort food dish, is a delectable casserole made with thinly sliced potatoes, creamy sauce, and a golden-brown crust. Originating in the 18th century, this dish has undergone various transformations, resulting in a diverse range of recipes. Our curated collection presents three unique takes on scalloped potatoes: a classic version, a cheesy bacon variation, and a vegetarian delight. Each recipe offers distinct flavors and textures, catering to different preferences.
1. **Classic Scalloped Potatoes:**
This timeless recipe embodies the essence of scalloped potatoes. Thinly sliced potatoes are layered in a creamy sauce made with milk, butter, and seasonings, then baked until tender and golden brown. The result is a comforting and flavorful dish that evokes memories of home cooking.
2. **Cheesy Bacon Scalloped Potatoes:**
For those who love a cheesy and savory twist, this recipe is a must-try. Crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese are incorporated into the classic scalloped potato mixture, adding an extra layer of flavor and richness. The combination of crispy potatoes, creamy sauce, melted cheese, and smoky bacon creates a dish that is both indulgent and satisfying.
3. **Vegetarian Scalloped Potatoes:**
This recipe caters to vegetarians and vegans, offering a delightful plant-based variation of the classic dish. Silken tofu is used as a substitute for cream, providing a rich and creamy texture without compromising the flavor. Roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, add vibrant colors and a medley of flavors, making this dish a healthy and satisfying meal.
Whether you prefer the classic comfort of traditional scalloped potatoes, the indulgent richness of cheesy bacon scalloped potatoes, or the wholesome goodness of vegetarian scalloped potatoes, our collection has something for every taste. Get ready to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds craving more.
MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATOES
This is the way my mother always made her scalloped potatoes. The measurements are taken from other recipes because she always just winged it, but the method is the same. The key is to heat the milk first!

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.
- Heat milk in a saucepan until warm. Pour enough warm milk over the mixture in the baking dish so the top of the liquid is level with the final layer of potatoes.
- Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an oven-to-table baking dish with some of the butter.
- Melt the rest of the butter in a saucepan or small skillet and saute the onion until it becomes translucent. Gradually add the flour to make blond roux, then slowly add the milk and allow the mixture to thicken. Season with white pepper and just a dash of salt and remove from heat. (Be careful to avoid overdoing the salt, because there is salt in the cheese.)
- Layer 1/3 of the potatoes in the baking dish, followed by 1/3 of the milk sauce, and 1/4 cup of the shredded white Cheddar. Repeat the sequence twice for a total of 3 layers. You can top with the breadcrumbs before baking, but omit if making the dish gluten-free. Bake covered for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, removing the cover for the last 10 minutes. (You can speed up the cooking time by pre-microwaving for 10 to 15 minutes before baking, or even par-boiling the potatoes.) The scalloped potatoes are done when the potatoes are tender. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced scallions and bread crumbs.
- All kids seem to love this dish (adults too). I keep this dish visually simple using only light colored ingredients, because kids seem to prefer it without green things (like the green parts of scallions), or black stuff (like ground pepper). However, you can jazz up the color if you like. In the episode, we topped this with bread crumbs - which you can do - but I keep the basic recipe gluten free.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic around the inside of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch casserole dish and let it dry. Reserve the remaining garlic. Rub the butter around the inside of the dish. Reserve the remaining butter.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick slices).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic, butter, potatoes, half-and-half, salt, pepper to taste, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Shake the pan so the potatoes are distributed evenly.
- Bake the potatoes, basting occasionally, until lightly browned and bubbly, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality potato. Russet potatoes are a good choice for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Layer the potatoes and cheese in a casserole dish. Be sure to season each layer with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Top the potatoes with a creamy sauce. You can use a simple béchamel sauce or a more flavorful sauce made with cheese, bacon, or herbs.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender and the sauce is bubbly. This usually takes about 1 hour.
